The Federal Government has called for a robust collaboration with states through their Commissioners for Youth for the development and implementation of comprehensive policies and initiatives to accelerate youth development across the country.
Minister of Youth Development, Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim, sought the states’ collaboration during a consultative meeting with Commissioners for Youth from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) at the weekend in Abuja.
She said President Bola Tinubu’s administration was committed to finding local solutions to national challenges, hence the need to engage the commissioners to get their perspective and inputs on some of the Federal Government’s policies for youths.
The minister emphasised the importance of a robust collaborative approach that would involve synergy with the commissioners to ensure harmonisation of the federal and state governments’ policies for enhanced national development.
