The Federal Government plans to hold the National Youth Confab in October 2026, according to Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande. This announcement follows President Bola Tinubu's pledge in October 2024 during his Independence Day broadcast. The delay in implementation is attributed to deliberate planning, and it aims to avoid the political pitfalls that affected the 2014 National Conference.
The conference, themed 'Next Gen Nigeria: Crafting Solutions, Owning the Future,' will convene one delegate from each of Nigeria's 360 federal constituencies and six diaspora delegates. The event, spanning two weeks, will include a virtual consultation phase followed by a physical conference in Abuja. The confab's six pillars cover governance, the economy, education, technology, climate, and security.
Olawande emphasized that the confab is designed to move young Nigerians beyond mere participation to actively developing solutions and owning Nigeria's future.
