President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima will host young Nigerians for the Progressive Young Leaders’ Summit (PYLS) 2024.

Tinubu is expected to deliver a keynote address at the programme holding at Presidential Villa in Abuja from September 3rd to 5th, 2024.

The programme is being organised by the Office of the APC National Youth Leader, Hon. Dayo Israel, to bridge the gap between youth and government, foster intergenerational dialogue, and provide a platform for young Nigerians to actively engage with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Tinubu.

Israel who spoke with our correspondent at the weekend stated that this year’s Summit has as its theme, “Shaping the Future We Want: from Restiveness to Inclusion, Action and Development.”

Hosted by the All Progressives Congress, the summit will convene a distinguished gathering of Nigerian public and private sector leaders, Nigerian government officials, policymakers, and dynamic young executives.

The summit will feature a series of ministerial town hall sessions where participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with government leaders on critical issues such as education, technology, economic development, and institutional reforms, with a focus on integrating actionable solutions into the administration’s policy frameworks.

Daily Trust reports that Israel has recently visited paid courtesy calls to the Vice-President and Ministers as part of the engagement process ahead of the summit.

While the Summit is free to attend, Israel stated that registration is mandatory, with over 3,000 participants expected from across the nation.

He said, “The Summit is a crucial step in ensuring that the voices of young Nigerians are not only heard but also play a vital role in shaping the nation’s development agenda. President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima’s personal involvement underscores their unwavering commitment to youth inclusion and empowerment.

“By tapping into the passion and innovative spirit of young Nigerians, this Summit aims to shape a New Nigeria that truly reflects the aspirations of the next generation. We believe this event will inspire young people to take ownership of the Renewed Hope Agenda and work collectively towards its realization.”
