United States (US) base Nigerian-American entrepreneur and founder Benjamin Justice Soghie Non-Governmental Organisation, Benjamin Justice, has said that empowerment and leadership will assist in developing the creativity of the youths.

Benjamin, a graduate of Lagos State University, in a Wednesday statement called on the Nigerian government and institutions to join hands to stop youth restiveness in Nigeria by empowering the youths via leadership.

He said, “Many Nigerian youths have proved to be efficient, able, and equal to tasks given to them, domestically and globally, so why not deploy them?”

Moreover, according to him, creative engagement empowers employees to build main skills, which include perceiving a problem, seeking and encoding information, and generating alternatives and main ideas.

Since the employees are unable to achieve all these, they typically get psychological to do their best. This decides the extent to which they are psychologically empowered. Therefore, it is certain that the process of creative engagement influences psychological empowerment positively. The process of creative engagement is also related to psychological empowerment and has some influence in a positive direction. Although important, the process of engaging in creative activities enhances the creativity of the employee.

“Empowerment of leadership can also be one of the channels by which an employee can psychologically motivate the employers of the organisation,” he said.

Benjamin, now rolling out community-based projects designed to motivate sound waste management, further stated that empowerment of leadership could maximize the odds of positive behavior and prosocial activity and that youth empowerment was a promising strategy to support healthy development and reduce the risk of negative outcomes.
