“His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assembled some of the finest young people in the country to form the backbone of his government, and this is based on his belief that youth inclusion is not just a promise, but the cornerstone of our administration’s vision for Nigeria,” Shettima said. He added that the government has worked to ensure that young Nigerians are not only heard but also empowered at every level of governance.

The Vice President noted that the Tinubu administration has created unprecedented opportunities for youths to thrive in various sectors. He mentioned that many of the administration’s ministers are young people, reflecting the government’s commitment to youth empowerment.

“This administration has opened doors for young people like never before. We have prioritised initiatives that empower youths in education, entrepreneurship, and the creative and data industries,” Shettima added. He highlighted several key programs, including the Presidential Initiative for Youth Enterprise Clusters, which is backed by N110 billion to support young entrepreneurs across agriculture, technology, and industry. Additionally, the Youth Investment Fund continues to provide crucial financial support for startups and small businesses.
