“This year’s conference has been meticulously curated to create a lasting impact on the participants. We are confident that the 2024 NCLC will give young Nigerians the tools to succeed and make meaningful societal contributions.

“Prominent Nigerian leaders will also participate in the event. Vice President Kashim Shettima, who supported last year’s conference, is expected to attend as the Distinguished Special Guest of Honour.

“We are grateful for his unwavering commitment to youth development,” Salam said, noting that Shettima’s participation in the 2023 conference inspired many young attendees.

“The conference will also feature Rt. Hon. Speaker Dr Abba Tajudeen will lead a mentorship session for participants. Known for his advocacy on children’s issues and their inclusion in policy-making, Speaker Abbass will offer insights into governance and leadership. His session will provide invaluable guidance on how young people can shape public policy,” Salam remarked.

“Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, will address youth leadership and legislative reforms, emphasising the role of young people in shaping Nigeria’s legislative future. His presence underscores the importance of civic engagement and policy-making for youth leadership,” Salam said.

He added that, “His Excellency Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, will serve as the Chief Host of the event, addressing participants on the practical aspects of leadership. Salam expressed enthusiasm about Wike’s participation, noting that his extensive governance experience will provide valuable lessons for the young leaders in attendance.

“Additionally, Mr Charles Usie, Country Director of Plan International, will be a keynote speaker, sharing his expertise on youth empowerment and development.”

Salam also highlighted the recognition of young Nigerians who have demonstrated exceptional achievements in their fields.

He said the “Early Achievers” of NCLC 2024 include Ashezi Akwashiki, a 10-year-old education advocate, poet, and published author who has gained international recognition for promoting education and girl-child rights.

“Also honoured is Master Sheun Ayomide Samuel, a 16-year-old inventor and student who has developed innovative, energy-efficient technologies, including rechargeable lights and fans.

Also honoured is Safiya Alkali Ajikolo, a 14-year-old award-winning student recognised for being the Best Student for three consecutive years.

“These young individuals have demonstrated extraordinary talent and creativity, and their achievements serve as an inspiration to all the participants of NCLC 2024,” Salam stated.

The conference will include various activities to foster critical thinking, decision-making, and leadership skills. Participants will engage in educational tours, including a visit to the National Assembly, where they will observe a parliamentary session and participate in a mock session.
