The National Council on Youth Development (NCYD) is the apex decision making body to the Federal Government of Nigeria on the issues that have direct or indirect impacts on youth development and empowerment of Nigerian youth. The body was created in year 2007. Since its inception, it has held its yearly Meetings in Kastina (2007), Calabar (2008) and Abuja (2009). This year’s edition will be held at the heart of the Osun State Capital city, Osogbo.
This year’s Council Meeting which is expected to be held from July 12th – 16th, 2010 has the theme: “Nigerian Youth: Challenges of Unemployment and Restiveness: The Way Forward.” Its features include Technical Sessions, Review of the Implementation of the past Meetings, Submission of new memoranda and release of a Communiqué at the end of the Meeting.
The expected delegates are “who are who” in Nigeria’s youth development sector. The categories of these people include: The Honourable Minister of the Federal Ministry of Youth Development; the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Youth Development; the States’ Honourable Commissioners and Permanent Secretaries in-charge of youth development; UNFPA; National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) Executive Members; the leadership of the Nigerian Youth Parliament (NYP) and; all other invited participants.
As an adage says, “Youth cannot be side-lined when the issues on nation building are being discussed.” It is on this note that the three distinguished Honourable Members Representing Osun State at the NYP (Hon. Isiaka O. Popoola – Osun Central, Hon. Jimoh Abiola – Osun West and Hon. Tinuola Awosemo – Osun East) welcome all the delegates to the State of the Living Spring. Particularly, we humbly welcome His Excellency, Comrade O.J. Ajani, a son of the land and the President-Elect of NYCN, on his first working visit to Osun State. Likewise, Hon. Luke Onofiok, the Speaker of the NYP.
As over 70million Nigerian Youth are eagerly awaiting the Meeting’s “implementable” Communiqué, We wish the participants fruitful and interesting deliberations as they apply their various fields of learning, expertise and wisdom in championing a new cause for the great Nigerian youths.
Long live Nigerian Youth
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria
