This document summarizes discussions at an invitational workshop on youth development in Nigeria. Youth were defined as those between 18 and 40 years of age, with those who were between 30 and 40 years old considered to be "mature youth." The following broad issues were discussed: (1) the characteristics of youth, including their idealism and need for role models; (2) the negative effects of the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP), which has reduced the resources and opportunities available to youth; (3) the importance of the family and adult role models in the socialization process and the need to provide programs that continue and develop that process; (4) the importance of education as the major socialization agency and the poor quality of higher education; (5) the need for youth to involve themselves in the political process; (6) the dangers of growing religious fanaticism and intolerance on university campuses; (7) the need to emphasize the value of physical labor as well as academic pursuits; (8) the need to promote and develop creativity; and (9) the need to develop high moral standards among youth leaders. A list of participants and a description of the Africa Leadership Forum are appended. (FMW)
