farewell Hanatu
Related to this project: YES Country Network-Nigeria

I regret to inform the YES Nigeria family about the death of one our dear members, Hannatu Yunusa, after a brief illness on the 11th of December 2008.

Hannatu was a friend who believed that young people could change this nation for the better and worked tirelessly in many youth development activities including the areas of good governance, HIV/AIDS, employment and policy advocacy.

I called her sister today and it was almost like speaking to Hannatu. Mamam like her late sister sounded poised and gentle. Exuding empathy in a calm manner told me she knew we would miss Hannatu and asked me to take heart. Instead of comforting the family she was comforting me. For anyone who knew Hannatu this is the exact thing she would have done.

Hannatu was straightforward, wise, humble, with a can do spirit and a mischevious sense of humour.
May her family take heart and know we share thier grief but also celebrate having had the opportunity to know her.

May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

YES Nigeria has been invited by the Federal Ministry of Labour Employment and Productivity to partcipate in the creation of the Implementation Framework of the National Employment Policy as National Committee Members. This is the guide that will be used to create the programmes and unite the stakeholders that will deal with employment in Nigeria.

How do you participate? Simply study the existing employment policy, make your comments and offer suggestions as how this can be successfully implemented. The questions to ask at all points are, will this enable young people earn a decent living and what will?
For reference we have an employment policy review guide available. Please feel free to download it. Collect feedback from your issue based groups and send it back to us. Your organizations name will be listed as a contributor in our report to the coordinating Ministry and the final findings sent to you.
