find the crown. This adventure is worth having as some who were members of the
Boys Scout and Girls Guide would appreciate the exciting experience.”

identifies with what the sponsors Gulder and Nigeria Breweries Plc are doing
with the youths by putting them through challenging tasks and teaching them
leadership and survival strategies as well as team building initiatives.
According to Obiano “we
are committed to boosting tourism in Anambra state, that is why we started with
security to ensure the safety of lives and property so that people can live and
go about anytime of the day and with street lights at key places at night.
He explained that his
administration is sustaining the infrastructural development of the State with
a view to creating an enabling and conducive environment for foreigners and
Nigerians to explore the abundant tourism potentials in parts of the State.

satisfaction with the arrangement put in place for the ongoing exercise and
assured that government will borrow a leaf to get Anambra State youths
acquainted with the experience in the jungle and encourage them to participate
in similar programmes to acquire endurance and survival skills. The governor
pointed out that with the coming of investors into the State, more companies
will have the opportunity to sponsor youth empowerment programmes.

sponsors for the lessons embedded in the GUS challenge which is the building of
strong and focused persons. He noted that the positioning of the Gulder brand
encourages survival and endurance skills which he observes fits into some of
the Pillars of Development and enablers of his government especially in commerce
