A New Year at SELL

To ensure appropriate response to the needs of Young Adults of the Northeastern part of Nigeria, SELL partners with other stakeholders and experts through forums and meetings to address issues faced by our target group. This drive propelled SELL Foundation to carry out advocacy visits in the month of January in preparation for the implementation of 2016 Programmes and Projects. On the 11th of January, SELL Resource Team carried out advocacy visits to some security agents to foster cooperation and relationship. The team started off at Bauchi G.R.A Police Division in whose jurisdiction the Foundation operates. The Division Police Officer (DPO) warmly received the team and promised to work with the team to maintain peace, law and order in the area. Next, the team stopped over at the office of Bauchi State Fire Service and was received by the State Deputy Director.   In his welcome remarks the Deputy Director who received the team in the absence of the Director thanked the team for the visit. He went further to say that our visit is the first of its kind by any Non Governmental Organization, however, he lamented that many people do not value the work they do until there is a fire outbreak which usually destroys what people have labored for all their lives. He appealed that SELL considers future collaboration with the service to organize seminars and workshop on prevention and response to incidences of fire out-break. The advocacy visits for that day ended with a visit to the divisional office of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), the officer in charge was delighted that the team visited. He said part of the core mandate of the corps is to maintain peace and harmony in the society which tallies with the vision of SELL Foundation. He urged the organization to share her programmes with them so that they can share in areas of collaboration. 
 Furthermore, Beji our team leader was on a relationship building visit to the Catholic Youth Organization of Nigeria (CYON) Jos Ecclesiastical Province at her first Provincial meeting which took place in Jalingo on the 22nd to 23rd January 2016. According to Beji, the chaplains and the youth leaders reiterated their support for the SELL programme in the province. They equally expressed appreciation to the Foundation for the capacity building the youth have benefited from SELL programme. Still in the spirit of Partnership, a collaborative meeting with a team of four officials from the Industrial Trust Fund (ITF) held on the 28th January 2016, at Youth Formation Centre. This meeting was intended to draw terms of reference between ITF and SELL Foundation on areas of support and collaboration in order to contribute to sustainable development through building Peaceful Communities, promoting access to Justice and self reliance for young Adults of the North- East Nigeria.  
On the same note, SELL met with one of her key stakeholders. They are the Chaplains of Youth groups in Catholic Ecclesiastical Province of Jos. The Chaplains’ meeting held on the 1st to 2nd February 2016 at the Youth Formation Centre in Bauchi Metropolis. It was a meeting of re-building relationship and interaction with Key stakeholders that support SELL Programme in North-East Nigeria. This was done in order to seek their support towards the future Sustainability of SELL in Nigeria. 
Despite the advocacy visits and meetings, SELL furthered her course of reaching out to Young Adults through workshops and this was evident in the last weekend’s workshop at Tafawa Balewa which marked the end of the month activity at SELL Foundation. The Last weekend of January 2016 was a remarkable one in the history of SELL Foundation as 9 different Schools experienced Leadership Unit of SELL Programme. The Programme was a 2 days Workshop (29th-30th), organized by the SELL Volunteers in Tafawa Balewa L.G.A, Bauchi State in collaboration with the SELL Resource Team. The workshop featured Identification of Leadership Styles, Foundation skills in Leadership, Qualities of a Leader, Reflection on Power, Authority and Leadership, Sexuality among others. The participants were very engaging and they requested during closing of the event that are yearning for more opportunity of engaging them.  It recorded 54 participants who were delegates from the 9 different Schools. Other supporters at the Workshop were Fr. Chongwanda Irmiya and Bro. James (PBSS). The Resource Team members were Fr. Patrick Esekon and Mary James. We thank St. Mary's Tafawa Balewa, Catholic Parish who played a host to the Students and the SELL Team.
Thanks for Staying with us on this page.
Mary James,
For the SELL Team, Nigeria.
