President Bola Tinubu has announced a 30-day confab for youths in the country to discuss and address challenges confronting them.
Tinubu made this announcement on Tuesday during Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day Anniversary Broadcast. The President stated that the modalities of the confab and the selection of delegates would be designed as soon as possible.
He emphasized the importance of involving the next generation in shaping their own future, saying, “We lead today with the future we wish to bequeath to our children in focus, recognising that we cannot design a future that belongs to them without making them its architects.”
The conference will be a platform to address issues such as education, employment, innovation, security, and social justice, with a focus on meaningful dialogue and active youth participation in nation-building.
Tinubu said the confab would unite young people nationwide and that the government would carefully consider and implement the recommendations and outcomes from the forum.
