African Orientation Council
The things people do could oftentimes create problems. Beyond that, how those things are done could cause even more disaster. Therefore, the need for orientation cannot be over-emphasized. Almost everyone who has been employed underwent an orientation program. Some organizations call it ‘onboarding’. During the orientation period, the individual learns about the organization, who is who, what is where, how and why, etc. These pieces of knowledge shape the new employee’s attitude to work and set the stage for the employee’s success on the job. IIAS adopted that model in its ‘catch-them-young’ activity aptly facilitated by the African Orientation Council. When a new breed of Africans become confident enough to reject the kinds of patronage that erodes national consciousness, IIAS will know that the plants are bearing fruit. With IIAS African Orientation Council, Africa will arrive at its destination.
Dr. Ngozi Okechukwu is the Chairperson of the African Orientation Council (AOC). The Program is involved in shaping the ethical landscape across Africa. It often appears that individuals take irrational steps when dealing with both local and foreign interests. Such irrational steps continue to cost the poor African masses their financial and natural resources. IIAS AOC has the responsibility to conduct live as well as online reach-out activities to appeal to the conscience of those who make decisions on behalf of the masses. To this end, AOC is funneling African youth to an orientation program provided by Emmanuel University that is collaborating with IIAS. A cohort has received scholarship to receive training at the university. Hopefully, people of goodwill will sponsor this training to enable IIAS and Emmanuel University train more and more youth so as to transform the ethical landscape of Africa.
