The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Youth Leader, Dr. Dayo Israel, said the youth wing of the party was set to unveil a brand new ‘Progressive Youth Resource Center’ to engage the youths in more activities that have to do with President Bola Tinubu’s dream for a better Nigeria.
According to him, the facility will house the Strategic Office of the National Youth Leader and Operational Office of the National Youth Wing, located in the high-end Wuse 2 area of Abuja.
He added that he was committed to recruiting more youths into the party, just as the Progressive Youth Centre will also serve as strategic office to mobilise more youths for the re-election of Tinubu in 2027.
Dr. Israel said he was inspired by the great impact of President Tinubu’s administration in the lives of Nigerian youth, from the student loan scheme to P-CNGi initiative, among many others and believed the President must be re-elected for a second term to complete the good work he has started.
“The idea for this Youth House began when I contested for the National Youth Leader. It was part of my manifesto to set it up since the election period. However, nobody wanted to support me then because they didn’t see what I saw or believed in the vision.
“This had been my dream since I was elected, to have an operational base for the youth of the party, because at the national secretariat, I only have a one-room office, and an ante-room across the passage for aides; no boardroom, no facility to run the youth wing, no laptops and printer, no budget, no imprest, running cost or operational budget for the office of the National Youth Leader, yet the youth have expected me to deliver.
“However, as President Tinubu continued to implement his reforms, enriching lives of Nigerians, especially young people, building systems to give us a brighter, rewarding future, I began to put my little funds together and started fundraising by speaking to people who believe in me enough to support my vision for this facility and today, it has become a reality.
“Our primary objective is clear: to win the hearts and minds of Nigerian youth by reshaping their perspectives about the APC, expanding our youth base, and aligning our dynamic strategy with the Renewed Hope Agenda set forth by President Bola Tinubu.
“At the heart of our work will be the recruitment of new members, involving them with the APC, and building a strong network of young progressives across Nigeria. We aim to involve young people in the activities of the APC and ensure that their aspirations are reflected in government policies, and that members of the APC Youth Wing are able to get involved in the party through political events, membership enrichment activities, and social gatherings,” Israel stated.
He described the youth centre as a space for strategy, innovation, and connection.
According to a release issued by Israel, the Center, which is one of the legacy projects of the first tenure of Asiwaju Tinubu administration is a dynamic and multifunctional facility set to redefine youth engagement within the party and across Nigeria’s political landscape.
“The facility would more importantly house the party’s official youth mobilisation effort towards the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027,” the APC National Youth Leader added.
