The Minister of State for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, says the Federal Government is considering getting Nigerian youths living abroad to participate in the 30-day Youth Confab being planned.
Olawande also stated that the Youth Confab may be held before the end of the year, noting, however, that the details and modalities for the confab would be made available in the coming weeks.
The minister made this known to our correspondent in an interview at his office on Monday.
President Bola Tinubu, in his Independence Day address on October 1, 2024, announced his administration’s plan to hold a 30-day Youth Confab to address challenges facing the youth in the country, who account for over 60 per cent of Nigeria’s total population.
