“The Ministry of Youth, Sport and Child Development gave me an award for my outstanding contributions to the country in the area of youth participation in good governance and civic leadership. The award was given to me based on the books I have written. I have also won a few awards from prestigious organisations based on the books I have written in the past.
I am an author of several books on civic leadership. Through my book writing, I support causes against gender based violence. I started writing books whilst I was a student at the National Institute of Public Administration – NIPA,”says Timothy.
One thousand young adults countrywide filed in their nominations for this award. The award was organised by National Youth Development Council. The award was graced by the Minister, Honourable Emmanuel Mulenga. Thirty-five out of 1000 young adults were awarded.
“I was pleasantly surprised to be invited to the award ceremony. My former school mate, Jennifer Tembo had pushed in my name for consideration, so I was pleasantly surprised,” he says.
Timothy is a past NIPASU (Student Union) President.
