Center for Innovative and Pragmatic Development Initiative CIPDI felicitates with the Youth on International Youth Day 2022 celebration.
This was contained in a letter by the organization’s management and was made available to crimefacts.news on Friday.
The thought provoking theme; Intergenerational Solidarity: Creating a World for All Ages is apt with all the happenings in our environment.
The statement reads, “CIPDI believes the Youths can be harnessed as major agents of change in achieving sustainable development goals. Our focus must be on several pertinent youth issues in Nigeria and Africa at large.
“Therefore, as Leaders of today solving tomorrow’s problems, it is pivotal that youths are equipped with the tools, resources and platforms, to engage world issues, challenge the status quo, build and develop systems and strong institutions which are hallmarks of effective leadership
“As we celebrate with the Youths today, we call on the Government, Corporate Bodies and all relevant stakeholders to invest in educating, and equipping the youths of Nigeria, with the tools and resources they need to soar higher. We also call on the Federal Government of Nigeria and ASUU to find and come to a middle ground to end the ongoing ASUU strike and ensure that our Universities are open, and functional for the students to resume studies.
“Strong, resourceful and resilient youths are key drivers to the successful implementation of all Sustainable Development Goals.
“GOD Bless the Youths of Nigeria, and GOD bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
