New_Deal_Organization
New Deal Organization is a Nigerian non-governmental organization and a project of Daniel Kanu, best known for mobilizing the youth in 1998 with his campaign Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha.[1] In a similar vein to that campaign, this program focuses on the youth of Nigeria and reaches out to youth and parents, offering moral reorientation.[2] In 2014, the organization began by targeting schools within the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja such as GSS Apo, GSS Garki, GSS Gwarinpa, GSS Karu and GSS Nyanya.[3]
According to News Diary online, the New Deal Organization aims to change the mindset of young people and encourage morality.[2] The New Deal combats violence, drug abuse and other societal vices by addressing parents and children and encouraging a synergy to foster beneficial relationships on the basis that good behavior starts in the home.[4][5] To enforce this, the New Deal utilizes a two part plan, called Y.A.C.T. and P.A.C.T., respectively.[6]
