Haruna made the call while speaking at the just concluded World Conference on Youth at Colombo, Sri Lanka at the weekend.
He said such an institutional platform under the United Nations System will afford the youth of the world a global voice.
Alluding to the recent creation of Commonwealth Youth Council, the minister reasoned that the youths will be given a platform to harness their resources and contribute significantly to world debate and development through a single coordinated voice.
He added that the present administration in Nigeria has done well in addressing youth challenges and in moving the sector forward through proactive and economic based programmes and initiatives.
