| Mr. Zuberu Yusuf |
Mr. Yusuf Zuberu, is a vibrant youth who is passionate about impacting lives, with special reference to the youths. He is also a clergy man and founder of Touch for Recovery Outreach International, TROI. TROI is a ministry aimed at reaching the world with a touch of change. They aim at reducing poverty through the increase in the rate of employment in Nigeria.
Founded seven years ago, TROI has been engaged in several activities geared towards impacting the lives of the Nigerian youths. Recently it held her maiden edition of Abuja Youth Empowerment Summit. The event gathered young achievers from different works of life, with the majority coming from the media. The likes of Honourable Nuhu Goro, of the present Kaduna State House of Assembly, as well as the Head of the Nigerian Press Council, TV and Radio Presenters, amongst others, all gathered to make the event a huge success.
Speaking with Crystal Newsmagazine in an interview at his Abuja residence, the Kogi State born, charismatic youth and rare gem of our present time, looks back at the summit. Recounting the success, he leads us into the story of his breakthrough through the simple act of giving.
Excerpt:
The Abuja empowerment youth summit, what is it all about?
I believe every Nigerian that has attained a level has a responsibility to add his own part to the country and to the society. We on our part decided it was time to empower the people around us and see how Nigeria can be a better place.
How can you assess the event generally?
I would say it is a huge success because after the event a lot of people called me and said, “thank you very much for putting this event together. We actually learnt a lot and we are encouraged.” That makes it a success to me.
