The Society of Young Nigerian Writers (SYNW GLOBAL) has called on Nigerian parents to foster and support the literary talents of their children. 


In a recent press release, the President of the Society, Wole Adedoyin, emphasized they importance of nurturing young writers, highlighting the role of parental support in the development of their creative abilities.


Adedoyin's statement comes at a crucial time when the need to promote literacy and creativity among the youth is more pressing than ever.

"It is imperative that we, as a society, recognize and nurture the creative potential of our youth," he added.


Adedoyin urged parents to provide their children with the necessary tools and environments to cultivate their writing skills. This includes access to books, writing materials, and opportunities to participate in literary events and competitions. 


He stressed that such support could inspire confidence and a sense of purpose in young writers.


The Society of Young Nigerian Writers has been at the forefront of promoting literary culture among Nigerian youth. Through workshops, mentorship programs, and writing competitions, SYNW aims to identify and develop young literary talents. 


Adedoyin highlighted several success stories of young writers who have benefitted from the Society's programs, attributing much of their success to the initial support from their families.


In his address, Adedoyin also called on educational institutions to collaborate with parents in nurturing young writers. He proposed integrating creative writing into school curriculums and organizing literary clubs and events that can engage students. 


"Schools and parents must work hand in hand to create a supportive ecosystem for young writers," he emphasized.


Moreover, Adedoyin highlighted the broader benefits of encouraging writing among young people. He explained that writing not only enhances communication skills but also fosters critical thinking and emotional intelligence. "Young writers often grow into thoughtful, articulate adults who can contribute meaningfully to society," he said.

Encouraging writing can thus open diverse professional pathways for young Nigerians.

"Let us all play our part in shaping the future of Nigerian literature by encouraging the young writers among us. Their success is our collective achievement," he concluded.
