METHODOLOGY
This list comprises of 40 individuals born after 31 December 1986 and doing remarkable, notable or unique work worth recognizing and emulating.
Our working definition of leadership comes from Myles Munroe. He said
“Leadership is the capacity to influence others through inspiration motivated by passion, generated by vision, produced by a conviction, ignited by a purpose.”
The names were drawn from various sources including nominations from individuals and organizations that work closely with the youths.
We do appreciate that there are a lot of young people doing remarkable work across the nation but for the purpose of this list we decided to limit the number to 40 people only.
