The National Youth Assembly of Nigeria (NYAN) and the Embassy of Brazil in Nigeria have challenged the youths to play a critical role in the realization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the country.
The national speaker of NYAN, Hon Usman Bashir, said youths play significant roles in terms of access to education, politics and economic development of any country.
Hon. Bashir mentioned this at the unveiling of NYAN project in support of the Implementation of the SDGs with the theme: “Youths Support for the Implementation of SDGs” organized by the group in collaboration with the Brazil Embassy in Abuja.
Hon. Bashir said: “We will be engaging in various activities designed to empower and educate our youths about their vital roles in the attainment of the SDGs. We will be organizing youth engagement sessions, workshops and seminars.
“Our main objective is to raise awareness about the importance of youths’ participation in achieving SDGs, elucidate on the specific roles of the youths in contributing to the implementation of these goals and foster collaboration between Nigerian youths and the Brazilian embassy in supporting the SDGs in the country,” he said.
