In commemoration of the 2026 International Youth Day, youth leaders in Ogun State have called for stronger structural inclusion and deeper collaboration with government to advance youth development in the state.
They made the call on Wednesday at the Nigerian Youth Parliament, NYP, 1st Stakeholders Townhall Meeting and Ogun Youth Dialogue held at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Abeokuta.
Speaking at the dialogue, the member representing Ogun West Senatorial District at the 6th Assembly of NYP, National Assembly, Olukoyejo Morenikeji, said the engagement was timely as the state approaches a period of political transition.
Morenikeji advocated for the creation and activation of a standalone Ministry of Youth Development to serve as a dedicated channel for youth-focused programmes and policies.
“Ogun State is at a trajectory moment of transition and continuity, and it’s a political season. We are trying to ensure that youth inclusion is key in the next administration’s agenda,”
