Young African Leaders Journal of Development (YALJOD) set to
visit African Campuses, as YALF intends to distribute YALJOD to Universities in
Nigeria, Benin Republic, Ghana, Zimbabwe and some other African Nations.
YALJOD is a Journal of Development launched at the African
Union Headquarter in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on the 21st of October,
2016. The Journal boasts of 22 scholarly articles from Young People across
Africa. It aims at identifying the thought process of Young Africans about
development issues in Africa. The Journal was pitched by the President of YALF,
Prince Ifoh, during the 10 Years AU PCRD Workshop at the African Union
Headquarter last year.
Currently, the Journal is making wave in Durban, South
Africa, and the aim is to expose it to Youths in African Universities. YALF
proposes a distribution across Libraries to enhance Pan-African thinking, and
to serve as a source of information and sensitization about African
Developmental Issues and Strategies, and also to boost developmental knowledge
and exposure.
Top Institutions in Nigeria such as OAU, UNILAG, UI, LASU, CONVENANT
are targeted. Cameroon already boasts of over 20 copies which should be
distributed to Universities soon.
YALJOD also set to go electronical, as YALF embarks on
YALJOD Ebooks. The YALJOD Ebook will be available in pdf format which will be
downloadable from the YALF Website in few weeks to come. The YALJOD Ebook is
necessary because physical transportation of YALJOD will be a tedious adventure
to embark upon.
