The National Youth Confab 2026 has concluded its conference with a call on youths to translate the concerns and recommendations of young Nigerians into concrete policies and action.
After days of deliberations, delegates presented a set of structured policy recommendations and action plans covering governance, job creation, and education, among other key thematic areas.
Over the course of the conference, delegates engaged in conversations reflecting the diverse experiences, concerns, and expectations of young people across the country.
The President, who was represented at the ceremony by the Speaker of the House of Representatives,Rt. Hon Tajudeen Abbas assured the delegates that their concerns and aspirations had been heard while expressing the government’s commitment to ensuring that the recommendations translate into implementation.
Minister of youth development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande, described the conference as more than a gathering of young people, but a step towards ensuring their voices influence national policies and government decisions.
A major highlight of the closing ceremony was the presentation of the National Youth Confab report to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The National Youth Confab 2026 may have come to a close, but the real test begins with implementation.
For the young Nigerians who participated, the call is simple: move beyond talking about the Nigeria we want and start building the Nigeria we deserve.
