President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed the commitment of his administration to create meaningful opportunities for Nigerian youths.
President Tinubu said this on the occasion of the 2023 International Youth Day, IYD.
He emphasised that “youth empowerment is a fundamental pillar of all reform actions being implemented across sectors, to create an environment where Nigerian youths can thrive and contribute to the point growth and development of the nation.”
The President acknowledged the growing interest and impact of many young Nigerians in technology-related fields the world over.
He therefore vowed to honour his campaign commitment of generating one million new jobs in the digital economy for their upliftment and national economic development more broadly.
He strongly believed in the principle, “to whom much is given, much is expected,” and remained undeterred in his focus on delivery.
As agents of change, President Tinubu urged the youth to champion national progress, unity, and collective prosperity for all citizens of our beloved country.
In tandem with the theme of this year’s event: “Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World,” the President implored young Nigerians to spearhead efforts aimed at achieving the highest quality of sustainable development.
On this year’s International Youth Day celebration, President Tinubu assured the younger generation that his administration will consistently engage with and listen to them to implement their important and forward-looking feedback.
Highlighting his commitment to active listening and engagement, President Tinubu noted that “the enactment of The Student Loan Act and the provision of buses to the Student Bodies of all Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education nationwide stand out as tangible examples of his administration’s responsiveness.”
The President heartily extended his best wishes to all Nigerian Youth on this joyous International Youth Day Celebration.
