LSJ Launches Civic Education for Youth Empowerment

The League of Social Justice (LSJ), led by President Dr. Labod Obanor, has launched initiatives aimed at transforming Nigeria through civic education and youth empowerment. During a media chat, Obanor stressed that the future of the nation depends on students who carry values beyond graduation.

The LSJ aims to reorient youth and restore patriotism to combat issues like insecurity and injustice. Recent programs have engaged primary and secondary school students, providing educational support to instill community service values.

The LSJ's initiatives include the "Voice of Justice" project, which empowers 700 university students in Lagos. Obanor noted the significant challenges facing Nigeria's education sector, including poor funding and dilapidated infrastructure, which hinder youth potential.

He highlighted that 20 million children are enrolled in primary school, with many facing unsafe learning environments. The LSJ plans to expand its civic education outreach to tertiary institutions across Western and Midwestern Nigeria, addressing the long-term neglect of youth and the need for responsible leadership.
