It was sure amazing when I got the invitation to join the Youth Advisory Board for the Challenge: Future. I do see this as an opportunity to actually have a say in what future lies ahead of us – youths. It is initiatives or platforms like this that brings about measurable potentials, and do believe I would be giving all I got to see the CF attain optimum success.
