The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Youth Leader, Dr. Dayo Israel, has said the party’s youth wing is set to unveil a brand new “Progressive Youth Resource Centre” to engage the youth in more activities related to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s dream of 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, which are located in the high-end Wuse 2 area of Abuja.
Israel added that he is committed to recruiting more youths into the party. The progressive youth centre will also serve as a strategic office to mobilise more youths for Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
The youth leader said he is inspired by the great impact of President Bola Tinubu’s administration on the lives of Nigerian youth, from the student loan to the PCNGI initiative, among many other initiatives. He believes 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 believe 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,” he said.
He said that as President Tinubu continues to implement his reforms, enriching the lives of Nigerians, especially young people, and building systems to give us a brighter, rewarding future, he began to put his little funds together and started fundraising by speaking to people who believe in him enough to support his vision for the facility. 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,” Dayo added.
