Edo Global Organization
Annual Conference Dublin Ireland
23rd June, 2012
The President and members of Edo Global Organization and
their hosts Edo Global Organization (Ireland) and Benin
Community Ireland would like to invite you to our annual
conference taking place at the:
Red Cow; Moran Hotels, Dublin 22 Ireland.
Under the distinguished Chairmanship of
:
Chief Nosakhare Isekhure JP
The Isekhure of Benin Kingdom &
Pro-Chancellor; Ambrose Alli University, Nigeria.
The Theme for this year’s conference is:
Youth Empowerment and Job Creation: Need for Government to
Partner with Edo Diaspora.
The discussion will include, creating a sustainable healthy
environment for the physical, psychological l and mental
growth of our youths, youth education with emphasis on
entrepreneurship, youth discipline, security of our towns
and villages, safeguarding our boundaries and curbing youth
crimes like kidnapping, armed robbery and cultism in
schools.
The lack of gainful employment of our teeming population
especially amongst the youths has led to their developmental
derailment supporting the adage of an idle mind being the
devil’s workshop.
Our youths have to be redirected away from these negative
paths with the help from the three tiers of government,
non-governmental organizations and the civil society to
engage in farming to feed self and nation and attain food
security, gainful employment and crime free community.
.
EDO GLOBAL ORGANIZATION
decided to dedicate this year’s Annual Conference to these
issues with the aim of proffering practical solutions to
these unwholesome youth activities and project agricultural
development to the fore as agriculture has the potential of
employing a substantial percentage of the unemployed youths.
The conference will bring together sons and daughters of Edo
Kingdom from all over the world to discuss these specific
issues which are responsible for the endemic
underdevelopment of Edo State, creating youth unemployment
and to proffer appropriate solutions to address them.
