It was such a great moment having been part of the training, having taught us different aspects and values that the youth need to uphold in order to be the next Pan-Africanist successful leaders , having humanity as a leader is a great virtue from Our Pan Africanist Julius Nyerere . As youth leaders we need to know that the people we lead need answers not excuses. one of the aspects we learnt from the training , emotional intelligence is one of the issues that we the youth leaders face so we appreciate the Julius Nyerere Leadership facilatators that guided us on how to handle emotions while solving conflicts as leaders . Financial literacy is also a common aspect among the youth and the whole problem that we need to manage inorder to become great entrepreneurs . A great applause to Mrs. Jemba one of the facilitators who guided us to always invest where we can get cash inflow and also start as early as possible inorder to prepare for the future . We were pleased to have Mr Bitature who challenged us to always have a positive mindset as the youth , not to concentrate on the education progress but also have ethics that will push us to archive more in the entrepreneurship industry ,choose the right partners that is marriage and business in order to be successful . A great thanks to Julius Nyerere Leadership Training center and United Nations Development Programme for having gives us a chance as student leaders to participate not forgetting the 17 development goals that were introduced to us and gives trees to change the environments and improves on the climate change in different Universities across the country .
