Deputy Speaker Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu has challenged Nigerian Youths to harness their potential and take up leadership role in the political and Business space and continue the match towards the brighter future.
Kalu said this at the event of Nigeria Youths Future’s Fund and initiative aimed to strengthen youth leadership through policy engagements and inclusive resourcing.
The fund is providing 5 point 9 million dollars to support Nigerian youths to be able to contribute their ideas and perspectives to policy development in Nigeria.
Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu and the Minister of Youth Development Jamila Ibrahim say the fund is simply sowing the seed of a new era where the voices of young Nigerians are amplified.
The organizers of the Grant say the initiative is a fall out of the endsars movement therefore there is need for structure, financial and technical support to allow the youths drive the change they want to see in Nigeria.
the event which is a collaborative initiative of Leap Africa has the theme “catalyzing youth Agency for the Nigeria we want”
