THE ROLE OF AIESEC IN NIGERIA
This is why AIESEC Nigeria, the voice of young people in activating leadership and the champion in providing solutions to issues. AIESEC provides activation for young people to in-depth education and an opportunity to do something within their immediate society.
Since the Election Conference has been taking away from NC, the thought has been to create a unique conference which meets the knowledge needs of members of AIESEC Nigeria and which captures the evolution of our organization with current trends.
This is the thought process behind having a conference with focus on issues affecting our society at the moment. The idea is to expose our members to issues that are relevant to the present world we live in. We need to continue to see ourselves as the organization that is first chice for young people when it comes to leadership and issues affecting the world currently and relevant to the 21st century.
