UNITeS Nigeria Pays One-day Learning Visit to AHI

AHI, on 23 January 2008, played host to a team of youth from United Nations Information Technology Service (Nigeria) UNITeS Nigeria led by Messrs Moses Imayi and Sola Lewis. The team comprised UNITeS participants who took part in ICT training programmes through a website development programme.

As part of strategy in ensuring that participants are well groomed and exposed, UNITeS Nigeria organizes learning visits to other organizations that have made an evident and impressionable achievement in building the minds and capacities of young Nigerians, thus, informing their decision to visit AHI with 21 of their participants.

The UNITeS team arrived at about 10.30am and were received by Dr Richmond Tiemoko, Director, ARSRC and other staff members as well as the immediate past and current youth assistants. Thereafter, the group was taken on a tour of AHI facilities after which they were taken through series of presentations on AHI programmes and strategies that aim at contributing to total youth development and well-being.

On account of the interactive nature of the learning visit, a UNITeS programme coordinator, Mr Sola Lewis, gave a brief presentation on UNITeS website development programme which according to him aims at empowering youth.

The interactive session which followed thereafter focused on the role of the youth in developing a global partnership for development. In the course of discussion, issues of youth development were addressed and questions relating to AHI programmes as well as UNITeS programmes were clarified. The immediate past AHI youth assistants who were invited to be part of the interactive session were called upon to share their own internship experience while in AHI.

Mr Moses Imayi, a UNITeS programme coordinator, in his closing remarks thanked AHI for accepting to host UNITeS Nigeria. The learning visit ended on a good note as UNITeS participants attested to having been groomed and exposed as a result of the learning visit. They considered AHI as possessing good learning environment.
