Youth in the Office of the President singled out their late President Hage Geingob’s track record of involving young people in decision-making bodies and putting them in leadership positions as a unique characteristic.
From NANSO’s leadership to the Presidential Youth Advisor and the youngest Swapo Constituency Counsellor of Windhoek West, all hailed the late President for his role and involvement in uplifting young people during nbc’s special tribute programme.
They further say that the president was consultative and believed in the power of young people.
The Presidential Youth Advisor, Daisry Obal, who served under the late President for nine years, says his model of inclusivity, especially with regards to young people, became the government’s best practice.
so much so that different governments across the continent have started to copy his inclusive model, bringing more young people to the decision-making table.
