The Minister for Youth Development chaired the 7th National Council on Youth Development in Maiduguri, Borno State. This remarkable gathering signified the determination of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to advance the interests of our young people through collaborative efforts.
The council, restored after a five-year break, signified a new phase in our journey towards a holistic and result-oriented youth development. With the theme: “Transforming and Repositioning the Nigerian Youth to Thrive and Catalyze Development,” the Council embodies the vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a brighter future, with deliberation focused on equipping our youth with the tools they need to succeed.
Olawande showed his excitement about the discussions and collaborations that emerged from this council. “Together, we can create an environment where our young people can flourish and contribute meaningfully to the progress of our society. We’re committed to continuing our work, hand in hand, to ensure our youth’s voices are heard and their potential realized. We’ll keep working to empower, support, and protect the youth at all times.” He said.
He also extended his gratitude to His Excellency, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, and the people of Borno State for their warm hospitality and support in hosting this important event and also the management and staff of the Federal Ministry of Youth Development, as well as all the Youth Commissioners across the country, who made valuable contributions towards the success of the 7th Council.
