Today was another important day for Nigerian youth as we successfully concluded the National Youth Conference and celebrated the achievements of young entrepreneurs at the NiYA–Cascador Founders Programme.
Both events reflect the commitment of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to ensuring that young Nigerians are not only heard but also supported with opportunities to succeed.
At the National Youth Conference, I was particularly encouraged by Mr. President's clear directive that the outcomes must be translated into concrete actions, with clear priorities, timelines and measurable results. More importantly, young people must be actively involved in implementing and monitoring decisions that affect their future.
At the NiYA–Cascador Founders Programme, we witnessed another practical example of this commitment, as 18 young entrepreneurs completed four weeks of training, mentorship and business development support. I congratulate all the participants, particularly those who received grants to grow their businesses and create more opportunities for others.
For us at the Federal Ministry of Youth Development @fmydNG, these two events reinforce one important message: youth development must go beyond conversations to concrete actions that improve lives. And through our interventions, we will continue to work with government institutions, the private sector and development partners to create meaningful opportunities for young Nigerians.
I sincerely appreciate Mr. President for his leadership and confidence in Nigerian youth. I also thank the Conference Planning Committee, delegates, Cascador, Sapphital, our partners and everyone who contributed to the success of both events.
To every young Nigerian who participated in either event, your voice matters, your ideas have value, and your future remains our priority. The conversations may have ended, but our responsibility to turn ideas into opportunities and opportunities into lasting impact continues.
