APC youth commissioners back Tinubu, adopt joint blueprint for development

Commissioners of youth from states governed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) have pledged loyalty to the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) and adopted a unified framework to drive youth-led transformation.

“We pledge to uphold the principles of transparency, accountability, and performance-driven governance,” the commissioners said in a communiqué issued at the end of the PGF quarterly meeting of youth commissioners held in Kaduna from August 7 to 8.

“We also express a strong commitment to championing youth-led transformation as a cornerstone for building a progressive Nigeria.”

The commissioners said they would align with the vision of the PGF under the leadership of Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo, and reaffirmed their “unwavering loyalty” to the progressive governors.

They also endorsed the president’s renewed hope agenda, noting that it “places youth at the centre of Nigeria’s socio-economic transformation”.

The commissioners applauded APC governors for sustained investments in youth development, citing efforts in skills training, digital infrastructure, entrepreneurship, the creative economy, and sports as “key drivers for a prosperous and secure Nigeria”.

They also acknowledged interventions by Tinubu and the governors in addressing drug abuse, youth restiveness, and unemployment.

“We applaud the contributions of these interventions to national stability and the promotion of social inclusion,” the commissioners added.

The commissioners further resolved to integrate digital skills, innovation, and entrepreneurship into youth policies across states to produce “a youth generation that is future-ready, productive, and inclusive”.

They expressed gratitude to Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, for hosting the meeting, and to the PGF secretariat for “strategic coordination and steadfast commitment to advancing youth-focused initiatives”.
