Peace Building (Youth Empowerment)
Empowering youths through education, seminar participation, entrepreneurial spirit, and space to be heard — because peace building is central to Nigeria's youth-driven future.
The Value Rebirth-Centre LSD Leadership School, Effurun-Warri Study Centre, holds its free leadership training every second Saturday of the month at Shamar School, Kolokolo Street, off Enerhen-Udu Road, near Ecobank, Effurun-Warri.
The challenges to Africa's development are enormous and daunting. They traverse a whole gamut of issues including political, economic and social. These bring to the fore the issues of leadership failures manifested in the inability of governments across Africa to deliver development to the citizenry.
…As a result, Africans live in lamentably poor conditions essentially due to the irresponsibility of government. The situation has steadily encouraged corruption, all shades of militancy and restiveness and an entrenched laissez-fair culture that now are huge factors in diminishing values and standards all over the continents. The effect of these have been catastrophic and mind boggling, and have reinforced debate on the leadership question in Africa, nay Nigeria, to among other things search for appropriate leadership response to the development issues in Nigeria and the continent.
Arguably, the issues have been traced to the effects of military incursion in governance. The return to democratic rule in Nigeria which should have passed as a panacea has not been able to resolve the challenges, because of the decay in values. Thus eliciting a renaissance or a rebirth process to re-invent the ideals (values and ethics) which Africans, Nigerians and the diverse people and communities in Africa are known for. However, the belief that re-enactment of ethical values and standards are necessary wake-up calls for a better and organised society, gave vent to the establishment of Value Rebirth & Empowerment Initiative (Value Rebirth Centre), to champion the course of ethical and value re-orientation that will usher in a new lease of life to the Nigerian and African Society in building value driven institutions for sustainable peace and development.
The idea is that a return to a regime of values and ethics will elicit a near perfect society and ensure responsible citizenship and governance.
To build the old waste places, raise up foundation for many generations, repairing the breach and restoring the paths to dwell through engagement and advocacy.

Through the knowledge I acquired from the Value Rebirth-Centre LSD Leadership School Effurun-Warri Study Centre, I was able to rediscover myself and pursue my passion towards impacting the lives of teenagers. I have been promoted at my place of work and today I'm into real estate business as a result of knowledge drawn from the leadership school.
