Minister of youth and sports, Sunday Dare, has said President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to implementing life-changing programmes for youths in Nigeria.
Dare stated this while speaking on Tuesday at the Public Service Institute of Nigeria (PSIN) while flagging off a three-day capacity-building workshop.
The minister, who was represented by the ministry’s permanent secretary, Ismaila Abubakar, described the Buhari-led administration as a youth-focused and friendly government.
According to him: “Efforts are being put in place to create a synergy between institutions of government and stakeholders in the youth sector so that issues relating to the youth are mainstreamed into activities of government with a view to giving the youth a sense of belonging towards becoming productive and contributing partners to the overall development of the country,”
He added: “This workshop will focus at improving your capacity, bringing you together for proper revalidation, coordination and synergy while exposing you to the guidelines and criteria required for proper registration and recognition by the ministry in line with the provision of the National Youth Policy and other instruments on youth development which recognize the very important role you, the NGOs and VYOs have to play as partners in the implementations of the policy,”
