Bees for Development Journal 121 December 2016
NEWS Nigeria Youth embrace beekeeping In Nigeria our youth are seen as vital sources of power for development, and as leaders of tomorrow. Youth constitute the major resource for any country aiming for any meaningful rural development. Some writers argue that young people, through antisocial behaviour and activities, are a threat to society. WE find that youth exposed to beekeeping entrepreneurial education contribute to the nation’s overall development, and will never be a threat. WE understand that all young people need support, guidance, and opportunities during adolescence. With this support they develop self-assurance in beekeeping which is one key to creating a happy, healthy, and successful life. I train young people between 10 and 25 years in the Imo community at Ilesa, Osun state. In October 2016 I provided training using a Resource Box from the Bees for Development.
Beekeeping training underway at Ilesa Grammar School, Osun State. The Youth Embrace Beekeeping group were very happy, thanks to Bees for Development! Falade Saanu Patrick
