A civil society group otherwise known as Young Professionals for Tinubu, YP4T, has taken a significant step in empowering young Nigerians to become active participants in the nation’s development.

The group that hosted a Civic Participation Workshop in Lagos brought together 1,200 young Nigerians and featured interactive sessions on policymaking, digital citizenship, leadership, and understanding government and the constitution.

Speaking, Personal Assistant to the President on General Duties, Mr. Wale Fadare, said, “True transformation is a collective effort. Young Nigerians have the energy and vision to drive change, and it is vital that we all work together to build a stronger, more resilient nation.”

Also speaking, Regional Director for YP4T Alex Oware reiterated that civic engagement begins with voting, ensuring that young voices are represented in shaping the country’s future.

He said, “Education is the foundation upon which strong nations are built. By supporting 100 young Nigerians in their final year of secondary school, we are not only investing in their future but in the future of the country itself.” 

The group further announced an upcoming Educational Grant Program that will support 100 final-year secondary school students across Nigeria with funds for their final certificate examinations. This initiative aims to remove financial barriers and ensure that promising students can complete their education and contribute to Nigeria’s growth.
