The Coalition of Unemployed Youths in Nigeria (CUYN) has hailed the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, for her persistent demand for skill acquisition and entrepreneurial drive among Nigerian youths.
They also commended her tireless commitment to nation-building and efforts to actualise President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The Coalition said the Minister has demonstrated unwavering dedication and commitment to alleviating the plight of the unemployed youth in the country.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday in Abuja, the convener Comrade Adamu Adamu said Edu has implemented various initiatives aimed at empowering the youth and creating opportunities for them to thrive.
Adam noted Edu has displayed exceptional leadership skills built around integrity, accountability, and inclusivity.
“We, the millions-strong Coalition of Unemployed Youths in Nigeria, have tasted the bitter tang of unfulfilled dreams, the gnawing frustration of untapped potential. But like a diamond hidden in the rough, hope lay dormant, waiting for the right hand to polish it, to reveal its brilliance, and that hand, belongs to Dr. Betta Edu,” he said.
“A woman whose heart beats in rhythm with the aspirations of the disenfranchised, whose mind teems with solutions for the marginalized, and whose spirit burns with unwavering faith in the power of the human spirit.
“The new wave of Renewed Hope Agenda, spearheaded by Dr Betta Edu has taken us by surprise. This particular wave of Renewed Hope Agenda has provided a glimmer of hope for the unemployed youth in Nigeria. It has been duly observed by us that, under her leadership, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation has implemented various initiatives aimed at empowering the youth and creating opportunities for them to thrive.
“From skills acquisition programs to entrepreneurship support, these initiatives have played a vital role in equipping us with the necessary tools to secure a better future. This Renewed Hope Agenda is not just a policy document; it is a symphony of opportunity, composed with the ink of empathy and conducted by the maestro of action. Each initiative, each program, is a carefully crafted note, weaving together a melody of empowerment, a harmony of self-reliance.
“Through targeted interventions in rural areas, she has bridged the gap between urban and rural youth, providing equal opportunities for all. This inclusivity has ignited a sense of unity and national cohesion amongst the youth, fostering harmony and progress in our great nation. We are perplexed by this development and mode of operation, and we can only conclude that this is a well-executed agenda.
“Furthermore, the Honourable Minister has displayed exceptional leadership skills in her role. She has been instrumental in forging partnerships with both local and international organizations, such as the World Bank and the International Labour Organization”.
The Coalition, therefore, charged Edu to continue on this path until the majority of the nation’s young population becomes actively engaged.
