In a significant development for youth engagement and peacebuilding in Africa, Bello Bala Shagari, a prominent representative of the Non-Aligned Movement Youth Organization (NAMYO), announced today the collaboration with the Honorable Minister for Youth Development, Hon. Ayodele Olawande Wisdom. This partnership aims to host the first-ever NAM Youth Regional Summit in Africa, focusing on the critical themes of peace and security.
The Minister has expressed his unwavering commitment to serving as the Chief Host for this landmark event, which is expected to gather NAM Youth members from across the continent. The three-day summit, scheduled to take place in Abuja, Nigeria, will convene young leaders, policymakers, security experts, and civil society organizations to explore the vital role of youth in fostering peace, security, and sustainable development in Africa.
In addition to discussions surrounding these pivotal issues, the summit will also witness the unveiling of the National Association of International Relations Students in Nigeria (AIRSIN) by NAMYO Nigeria. This initiative reflects the growing recognition of the importance of youth voices in shaping policies that affect their lives and communities.
The commitment from the Nigerian government, under the Tinubu-led administration, underscores a strong dedication to empowering young people and promoting peace and security not only within Nigeria but across the African continent. As Nigeria’s population and economy continue to expand, this summit serves as a strategic opportunity to reaffirm the country’s leadership role in regional affairs.
Details regarding the specific date of the program will be announced shortly, marking a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s commitment to youth development and continental collaboration.
