The Nigerian government on Monday announced the launch of the official digital portal for the forthcoming Nigeria Youth Conference, also known as the National Youth Confab.

This is contained in a statement issued by the Minister of Youth Development, Ayode Olawande, describing the initiative as more than just a conference, a generational turning point, a national movement, and a call to action.

According to the minister, the theme of the Confab is “Next Gen Nigeria: Crafting Solutions, Owning the Future.’ and the portal would enable delegates to register, contribute and get real-time updates throughout the time of the Confab.

According to him, the Confab will be held through multi-level participation, including young Nigerians in the diaspora, consultation with youths across the 360 Federal constituencies, zonal consultations in six states, and finally a National Conference in Abuja to harmonise recommendations.

He explained that the Youth Confab is aimed at engaging young Nigerians in policy discussions and national development and will be inclusive, non-partisan and youth-led.

It would be recalled that President Bola Tinubu first announced the planned 30-day Youth Confab during his Independence Day broadcast in October 2024.

Tinubu also officially inaugurated a 44-member Planning Committee for the National Youth Conference at the State House in Abuja in March this year.
