Drawing from his extensive experience in Ghana’s media industry Mr. @TheIsraelLaryea underscored that social media has become the primary space where the next generation is shaping public opinion. However, he emphasized that influence alone is insufficient, urging influencers and active digital voices to evolve beyond content creation into civic actors, individuals who not only shape conversations but actively engage in decision-making processes, organize communities, and contribute to real governance outcomes.

"...intellectuals have a special contribution to make to the development of our nation, and to Africa. And I am asking that their knowledge, and the greater understanding that they should possess, should be used for the benefit of the society of which we are all members."
—Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere, from his book Uhuru na Maendeleo (Freedom and Development), 1973.
The panel discussion on “Youth Voices Roundtable: Youth, Leadership, and the Future of a Sustainable Africa” featured Mr. Alionzi Lawrence, Mayor of Arua City; Ms. Shadia Tushemerirwe; and Ms. Anna Nabulya, Programme Manager at UYDEL, and was moderated by Mr. Ivan Ssegawa Sebastian, JNLC Facilitator. The discussion emphasized the importance of youth embracing their African identity, strengthening research dissemination, and leveraging social media for entrepreneurship. Panelists also highlighted the persistent challenge of youth unemployment and the need for solution-focused leadership to drive sustainable development across Africa.

Today's Lecture, held in partnership with @CODESRIA, brings together two critical forces: the practice of leadership and the power of ideas. It is at this intersection that meaningful change takes shape. We are deeply honoured to welcome Mr. @TheIsraelLaryea , a renowned journalist, entrepreneur and Pan-Africanist and Ms. Helena Julita Nyerere, with us, representing the #Nyerere family and continuing a cherished tradition that connects us directly to Mwalimu's legacy and reminding us that legacy is not only inherited, but renewed through action.
