Man O’ War Bay Training Centre which later became known as
Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre is a product of Outward Bound type
of Education developed by late Dr Kurt Hahn, a German who later naturalized as
a Briton.
He founded the 1st Outward Bound School in
Aberdovey, Wales in 1941. Ten years later, late Dr Alec Dickson, a Briton whose
special interest was Community Development founded the Man O’ War Bay Training
Centre in 1951 in Victoria, Southern Cameroon. It was given a legal status by
an ordinance published in the extra ordinary Gazette No 45 of 10th
August, 1960 and modified by Decree No 38 of December, 1989.
The Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre, an affiliate
member of the Outward Bound Organization World Wide which exist in over fifty
Countries of the World is the first in Africa and number two in the World.s
The Centre has trained more than 7 million Nigerians from
all works of life since its inception 56years ago. The centre is an informal
Educational Institution. It uses the challenges found in the environment to
confront participants for the purpose of developing the core values of Courage,
Trust, Integrity and Compassion for others.
In order to actualize the development of these core values,
the centre incorporates the following into its training programs:
-
Character development
-
Adventure and Challenge
-
Compassion and Service
-
Social and Environmental Responsibility
Schools and institutions have had privilege of getting their
students enjoy the training curricula of Citizenship and Leadership Centers
across the Country. In my University days, we participated actively in
NUMOWCHIN (National Union of Man O’ War Clubs In Higher Institution of Nigeria)
am umbrella body of Man O’ War Clubs in
Higher institutions in Nigeria, the trainings that members passed through have
remain helpful to them either Men or Other Men
alike in their various endeavours of life today. I am planning to do a
study on “Benefits of Citizenship and Leadership Training in Current Day
Nigeria” For those who have had the privilege and honour to Share the
experience, the journey of self discovery, confidence and compassion for others
is the key to volunteerism, a spirit which is lacking in our present day
Nigeria. Self discipline is lacking amongst youths today. I urge patriots who
have had these training to polish themselves and be useful where ever they are.
If you still do your routine exercise like the “morning tea” which I still
enjoy very much till date after my usual morning jogging, you will be active
and smart in whatever area of life you are involve.
Don’t give up
the skill, Man O’ War Wee!!
