ABSTRACT The roles of youth in national development cannot be underestimated. The roles can be either negative, hampering the development or positive, enhancing the development. The kind of education received by the youth is a significant factor to whatever role they play in building a nation. Nigeria as a nation experiences a period of different violent and criminal behaviours among which are kidnaping for ransom, killing, internet crime (yahoo-yahoo), and money ritual killings and all these are going along with the global Covid-19 pandemic that also has negative impact on the national development. These behaviours are being majorly committed by the youth of the nation. This calls for transformation as a needed phenomenon for the youth in Nigeria using education as the tool, to build them for national development. Adopting desk research, the study was anchored on Omoluabi concept. The study concluded that since education is imperative for youth transformation, the educational stakeholders in Nigeria are to reform the education system that will lead youth to become acceptable adults thereby making positive contribution to the development of the nation.

Abstract: This paper sought to re-evaluate value systems for Kenyan youths in order to experience social transformation. This discourse takes a moralist perspective and believes that there is an ideal body of values, one that over-rides others. In this paper, it would be appropriate to ask pertinent questions such as; what forms societies‟ value systems? What value systems are there for Kenyan youths? How can value systems of youths be useful for social transformation? The first two questions concern a present analysis of value basis of societies while the last question is a positivist futuristic question of building a gap. Using a qualitative approach, this study sought for relevant literature from other scholarly articles which formed the basis of conclusions and recommendations. In overall sense, value systems are good, and if re-evaluated, social transformation is bound to occur. This transformation is likely measured by the meaningful socio-eco-political input to the society and the acceptance thereof. Value systems of Kenyan youths have been influenced by; one, familial relations; two, peer pressure; and three, the external factors. This study recommends that for social transformation to occur, re-evaluation of such value systems ought to take place both horizontally and vertically.
