The Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development will be holding a National Youth Conference in Abuja from October 12 to 15, 2021.
The event would provide an opportunity to dialogue, harmonise and capture the goals, concerns, aspira-tions, plans and contributions of the Nigerian youths towards the creationof an effective and efficient approach for future government engagements and the implementation of solutionsfor the delivery of good governance to Nigerians.
The conference would bring together more than 370 youths from all the 36 states of the federation and theFederal Capital Territory and over 200 high level officials from the three tiers of government and some of their agencies, high achieving youths, chieftains from various economic sectors, and multilateral agencies.
The youth conference, approved by President Muhammadu Buhari, was perhaps the first of its kind in Nigeria and would be completely private sector-driven with the government creating the enabling environment for the private sector to contribute its quota to initiatives that would promote the place of the youth in nation building, governance, economy, peace and national security.
