President Bola Tinubu has unveiled the planning committee of the National Youth Confab at the Council Chamber of the State House, Abuja.
The Committee is to be chaired by Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Youth Development, Olubunmi Olusanya.
The inauguration comes five months after Tinubu, in his last Independence Day broadcast, announced plans for a 30-day national youth confab to address critical issues facing the country’s youths.
At the ceremony, the President tasked the youths to seize the opportunity to redefine the fortunes of millions of their counterparts across the nation.
Tinubu urged the planning committee to priotise discussions on technology and agriculture to achieve food sovereignty for the country. He emphasised their crucial role in Nigeria’s success, asking them to voice their concerns and ideas.
The President assured them that although his administration is dedicated to improving Nigeria, it cannot do so without the youths who represents over 60 per cent of the nation’s population.
The President reassured the youths of his support, calling for thorough collaboration and feedback. He promised to facilitate an environment conducive to the confab by removing obstacles.
