Senator Kashim Shettima has reiterated the Bola Tinubu administration’s dedication to empowering Nigerian youths to achieve their full potential and contribute to the nation’s development.
This statement was made during a courtesy visit by the National Executive Council of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), led by its President, Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo, to the Presidential Villa.
Commending the NYCN for its support of the administration’s programs and initiatives, Shettima expressed gratitude for their efforts in maintaining hope among Nigerian youth.
He stated, “We cannot thank you enough for keeping the hope alive for the Nigerian youth. We identify with you, we empathize with you because the future of this nation belongs to you.”
Highlighting the significant youth demographic, Shettima noted, “We are one of the youngest nations on the planet and the youths constitute nearly 75 percent of our population. Once we engage the youths, once we give them hope for a better tomorrow, all the madness pervading this land will dissipate.
“Sixty 60 years for an organisation to remain vibrant and still standing on its feet deserves commendation. I want to thank you for believing in the Nigeria project. A lot of members of your generation have left the country but you resolved to stay on, and together we are going to salvage the ship of this state,” Shettima added.
Regarding the administration’s plans for young Nigerians, Shettima pointed out that Tinubu has established a dedicated ministry for youth affairs, appointing two young individuals to lead it. Additionally, Shettima has appointed many young persons to key positions within his office, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to youth involvement in governance.
