Introduction
The future of every nation is unarguably dependent on her youth-student population. It therefore follows that an articulate and focused youth is the strength of every nation. On the other hand, a nation without a progressive youth is already a nation at risk. Youth and Students Advocates for Development Initiative, YSADI nitiative is an organization formed by some good spirited young Nigerians and was incorporated with the Corporate Affairs Commission in accordance with the laws of the land in November 2010.

Our Belief
