Anioma Youths Hail Proposed Youth Confab

The Anioma Youth Forum Worldwide (AYF-W), has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration’s planned National Youth Conference.

The group said idle and jobless youth population is a ticking time bomb that needed to be addressed.
President Tinubu had in his October 1, national broadcast proposed a 30-day national youth conference.
The group in a statement by the national publicity secretary Comr. Ekwukwo Elvis called on governments at all levels to be deliberate and sustain efforts in creating jobs and providing a conducive environment for innovative entrepreneurship.

“AYF-W therefore, welcomes President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu proposal for a National Youth Conference. This is a significant step in the right direction, that will provide a long-overdue platform for Nigerian youths to voice their concerns, share their experiences, and propose solutions to the long-standing challenges they face.”

They continued, “In the aftermath of the proposed National Conference, deliberate and concerted efforts must be made to practical use and actualise all the outcomes and resolutions of the conference. It will amount to a waste of our tax payers money, time and energy of the youths if such resolutions are again thrown into the waste bin without implementation as seen in the past.

“It is therefore essential that all critical stakeholders, particularly the various youth organizations across the country, are fully mobilised without any form of discrimination, segregation and bias for the upcoming conference to ensure that it becomes a meaningful and transformative process.

“Once again, we commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for his visible efforts and charge the state governments across the country to borrow a leaf and implement same in their respective states”.
The statement added that to truly support the nation’s youth, “there must be more desperate, deliberate and sustained efforts across all levels of government to create jobs, improve access to education and training, and foster a conducive environment for innovation and entrepreneurship. The future of Nigeria lies in its youth, and the time to invest in them meaningfully and in a more practical ways is now”.
