Moral Re-Armament/Initiative of Change Nigeria(MRA/IofC), in collaboration with the Kaduna Interfaith Mediation Centre, has concluded plans to host HARAMBEE 2011 in Nigeria, and play host to South Africa, Kenya, Ghana and Ethiopia.

Harambee Africa, which has been operating across Africa since 2003, is a network of young Africans poised towards laying the foundation for the emergence of ethical servant leadership that seems to have eluded the African continent over the years.

Briefing newsmen in Lagos, Mr. Abiodun Owoseni, General Secretary, MRA/IofC, disclosed that Harambee 2011, which would be kicking off with a conference in Lagos, will be followed by a 3-week leadership training in Kaduna State.

He said: “We need to build leadership. Leadership does not come easily; it has to be imparted because we cannot continue to expect from people what they have not been given. We really need to invest in the future of Nigeria, and Africa in general.”
