Tinubu To Convene 30-Day Youth Confab

President Bola Tinubu has announced that his administration will convoke a National Youth Conference with a view to galvanising the creative energy of younger Nigerians towards a better future.

Tinubu said this in his Independence Day nationwide broadcast which he made on Tuesday morning.

The President said the confab which would hold for 30 days was necessary in the nation’s quest to stabilise the economy, secure the country, foster national unity and build social harmony and cohesion.

He said: “As we work to overcome the challenges of the day, we remain mindful of the next generation as we seek to galvanize their creative energy towards a better future. We lead today with the future we wish to bequeath to our children in focus, recognizing that we cannot design a future that belongs to them without making them its architects.

“Considering this, I am pleased to announce the gathering of a National Youth Conference. This conference will be a platform to address the diverse challenges and opportunities confronting our young people, who constitute more than 60 per cent of our population. It will provoke meaningful dialogue and empower our young people to participate actively in nation-building. By ensuring that their voices are heard in shaping the policies that impact their lives, we are creating a pathway for a brighter tomorrow.

Through this confab, it will be our job as leaders to ensure that their aspirations are at the heart of the conference’s deliberations.
