It is not going to be the usual confab. That is why about three weeks of this confab will be spent with the grassroots,\u201d said Olawande, who added that President Bola Tinubu would inaugurate selected delegates by mid-January.<\/p>\n<p>While providing updates on preparations for the confab on Saturday, the youth minister said the event would not be a time to \u201ctalk and spend money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have changed the idea. The President has given us the go-ahead to come up with something more action-oriented, and after clarifying it with the Chief of Staff and getting his input, we will announce the modalities before the year (2024) ends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will announce the committees. We\u2019ll hit the ground running by mid-January or the last week of January. We will nominate representatives from each ministry and agency to collaborate with the delegates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will announce those people; the President will approve and inaugurate them, and we will do the confab properly by the first week of February. I can assure you that we are going to the grassroots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the 30-day event would allocate two weeks to engagement in federal constituencies, followed by one week in states and local government areas.<\/p>\n<p>The final week will involve a convergence on Abuja, where all findings and progress will be reviewed and discussed to formulate actionable steps.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on previous conferences, such as the 2014 confab, he emphasised the need for a fresh and result-oriented approach to avoid repeating mistakes that yielded minimal results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis period, we have been looking at what has been done and how we can do things differently and better. That is why we are taking our time because we want results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of now, we are setting up committees and giving them templates. We need to go back to where the challenges are the grassroots. We will not have the same people in various youth organisations who have always been there for a long time and just recruit them for the confab. We don\u2019t think that is the right step this time around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In October, Olawande, then Minister of State for Youth Development, had said the Federal Government would set up a task force to implement the recommendations of the youth confab.<\/p>\n<p>He argued that the task force was necessary to help concretise the recommendations into executive orders or bills to be transmitted to the National Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will still ask the President to give us an implementation task force so that when we need to do an executive order, we can put it up immediately. Those (recommendations) that need to go to the National Assembly, we can take it off, and we will start having this as quickly as possible. So, it\u2019s a done deal,\u201d Olawande noted.<\/p>\n<p>He revealed that although the initial brief submitted to the President proposed four days for the dialogue, Tinubu recommended one month instead after listening to their plan to bring youths together for a dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are preparing to roll out things very soon with all stakeholders involved, which the President has consented to,\u201d Olawande stated.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting, the National President of the National Association of Nigerian Students, Lucky Emonefe, urged the Federal Government to expedite action on the planned conference.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that part of the demands NANS would be presenting at the confab was increased youth participation in government, insisting that at least half of all public leadership and decision-making positions must be held by young people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe never expected that the conference would take this long. This youth confab and engagement with the youth is very important. We urge the minister of youth to please expedite action. Mr. President should put action to his words to ensure that the conference takes place because it is an opportunity for Nigerian youths to express their mind, their challenges and demands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want a situation whereby like 50 per cent of government position would be occupied by youths so that we can attend to the needs of the youth,\u201d Emonefe said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Says event would not be a time to \u201ctalk and spend money&#8221; FG to nominate representatives from each ministry and agency to collaborate with the delegates The Federal Government on Saturday fixed February 2025 for the national youth conference.
