President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced a 30-day National Youth Conference aimed at addressing the diverse challenges and opportunities confronting young people in the country.
In his speech to mark Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day anniversary on Tuesday, Tinubu said his government has taken into consideration the fact that
60 per cent of the Nigerian population is made up of youths, most of whom are unemployed and promised that his administration would unfold more plans to engage the youths by bringing them together in the confab where their voices will be heard while provoking meaningful dialogue and empowering the young people to participate actively in nation-building.
He further stated that the 30-day confab will “unite young people nationwide to collaboratively develop solutions to issues such as education, employment, innovation, security, and social justice.”
