The RE-BRANDING NIGERIA THROUGH BIKING TOUR which is to be an annual event is designed to encourage youth to become agents for social change and the catalyst for changing their own community. The tour is  a great opportunity for Bikers, their fans and other Sports lovers to showcase their immense commitment, goodwill, human and material resource towards playing a lead role in the war against HIV/AIDS, Accidents, Drugs, illiteracy, Poverty, Unemployment and other related diseases in in Nigeria, Africa and indeed globally.

 This year, the trip is tagged RE-BRANDING NIGERIA THROUGH BIKING TOUR 2011 with the theme: Creative Awareness Campaign (CAC) among African  leaders and youth, centered on behavioral and attitudinal changes towards the spread of HIV/AIDS, growing poverty, conflict resolution, global warming, political stability and protecting the rights of youth in Africa.

Youth, individuals between the ages of 15 and 24, make up over one-sixth of the world’s population but, have constantly been disengaged and excluded from processes that affect them directly and which they are expected to sustain in the future. They lack the necessary skills, technical knowledge to engage these processes which then leads to an ineffective and often non-participation in policy formulation, implementation and decision making.

Youth’s meaningful participation remains a key to sustainable development in Africa as they remain a link to the future. The continent have neglected these creative and energetic segment of the society, this group is often perceived as a problem requiring solution rather than as an asset for economic, political and social life of their communities and the consequence is evident in the lack of will in our national life. The youth have the capability to grease the wheel of development when given the opportunity and mandate.

Despite the enormous challenge of using their creative energy in trying to prove themselves in order to be taken seriously in the pursuit of their goals and aspirations, this group has made giant strides in the course of the fortunes of Africa and these are gains that need to be consolidated.

Addressing key global threats- like the spread of HIV/AIDS, growing poverty, conflict, global warming and political stability in developing countries depends on protecting the rights of youth and providing them with the support they need to contribute to the health and well-being of society.
