Youth as Agents of Peace and Justice

Thinking Reimagined® with Dr. Ama

The 20th of October 2020 is now largely regarded as an unforgettable day in Nigeria's history as it marks a key moment in a period which saw millions of youth across the country act as agents of peace and justice against police brutality, injustice and bad governance. Two years on from the Lekki Massacre that was unleashed on that fateful day, the status quo continues as questions still transpire as to the high price paid by the youth activists. Despite the dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Nigeria, youth…, the people continue to call for transparent leadership, justice for victims, clarity in tackling corruption as well as the long-awaited police reforms. This episode of Thinking Reimagined revisits a prior episode and Nifemi Oguntoye stirs up thought-provoking conversations between Ese Ayaebene (Counseling Psychologist), Bisi Alimi (Executive Coach, Public Speaker, International Development Consultant & Media Commentator), Hajara Tunde-Osho (PRO, NAPTIP Lagos Command), Babatunde Oguntimehin (Researcher, News Central TV), Victoria Clement (Teenage Advocate) & Moses Omoghena (Head of Marketing and Communications, Citiserve Ltd.) as they discuss the youth becoming more involved in political leadership and steps that should be taken towards ensuring that the dreams of a great nation become reality in the near future.
