Instruction: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow
It is common axiom that the youths are the leaders of tomorrow. Because this statement has almost
become a cliché, it is often taken for granted. But the reality is that as a society, we need to invest in,
encourage and support the nation's youths, in order to realize a better future for the country.
As a company, Guinness Nigeria believes that the best investment in youth development is in the area
of education. This belief has informed the numerous initiatives we implemented in the past or are still
implementing as far as youth development is concerned.
We have therefore taken great interest in the educational sector and made significant contributions to
it. Apart from contributing to the government established Education Trust Fund (ETF), we also pursue
other private initiatives to drive our interest in the Nigerian youth.
such private industries included the Guinness Leads Scholarship Scheme and the Chevening
Scholarship operated in partnership with the British Council. Targeted at young Nigerians of university
age and post-graduate students respectively, the two scholarship schemes were of immense benefit to
the education-thirsty citizens of this country.
