Buhari Commited to Empower Youths, says Sport Minister
The Honourable Minister of Youth and Sports Development Mr. Sunday Akin Dare has revealed that building a Youthful population that is empowered and successful is one of the cardinal objective of this administration; this he said is not limited to Youth and Sport Development but also in Education, Health, Science and Technology, Politics and Leadership. He said that Youth Development will take the lead with Sports also getting equal attention.
2. The Minister stated this when members of the United Northern Youth Students paid him a courtesy visit, in Abuja. He said, about 67 million of Nigerian population are Youth and their problems are varied. He stressed that ‘’we have seen what their counterpart are doing across the world because of what their country is investing in them, Federal Government through the Ministry intends to put together lots of programmes for the Youth such as self-empowerment and also introducing them to Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in order to enable them to be more competitive and be gainfully employed.’’
3. Mr. Sunday Dare explained that the Ministry has waded into the crisis over leadership tussle in the National Youth Council of Nigeria {NYCN}, adding that a seven man committee has been setup to resolve all factions and their Presidents, promising that whatever report generated from that will be subjected to another process of a higher level before reaching a final decision.
4. According to the Minister,‘ ’Youths in this country are hurting themselves because they do not have a single united front fighting for them, it is illegal to have four people parading themselves as the president of the National Youth Council of Nigeria”, he said. In a fresh start, the Minister said it is important for the NYCN to bury whatever interest they have had and that its constitution would be looked into holistically.. This will give room and equal leveling field to conduct a fresh and transparent convention to elect an authentic leader that the United Nations and the World Health Organisation will embrace.
5. Mr. Sunday Dare draws the attention of the delegation to the National Youth Policy, which states out clearly what Government should do to empower the Youth and prepare them for Leadership in the society.
6. Earlier, the President of the United Northern Youth and Student, Jubir Aminu Meturare, thanked the Honourable Minister for receiving the delegation at a short notice, assuring the Minister that they will work with the Ministry
