President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced that a National Youth Conference organized by the federal government will commence in the first quarter of 2025.
The president disclosed this in his New Year message to Nigerians on Wednesday, describing the conference as a reflection of his administration’s commitment to youth inclusiveness and development as nation-builders.
“The Ministry of Youth will soon announce the modalities for selecting the conference’s representatives from our diverse, youthful population,” Tinubu said.
The president also called on state governors and local council chairpersons to collaborate with the federal government in areas such as agriculture, livestock, and tax reforms, emphasizing the importance of collective efforts to propel the country forward.
“I commend the governors who have embraced our Compressed Natural Gas initiative by launching CNG-propelled public transport. I also congratulate those who have adopted electric vehicles as part of our national energy mix and transition,” Tinubu stated.
“The federal government will always offer necessary assistance to the states,” he added.
Addressing Nigerians, Tinubu acknowledged the sacrifices made over the past 19 months of his administration and reassured citizens that their efforts would yield positive outcomes.
“To all citizens, your sacrifices have not been in vain over the past 19 months. I assure you they will not be in vain even in the months ahead. Together, let us stay the course of nation-building.”
Additionally, the president announced plans to unveil a National Values Charter in early 2025, aimed at fostering patriotism and love for the country among Nigerians.
