Johnson also explained why the term “Man Up” was selected as the title for the event.

“We are dubbing the presentation “Man Up” because we will be addressing the issues and challenges specifically facing our young men. It is hoped that as a result of this presentation, the young men will become more productive, involved and they will take up their roles as leaders in our homes, in our institutions and in the community”, Johnson explained.

The “Man Up” symposium will be held at the Saddlers Primary School at 5 pm.
