President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said he understands the challenges confronting Nigeria’s young people, noting concerns over employment, the cost of living, access to education, opportunities to start businesses and community security, and pledged to create more opportunities for them.
Speaking in a recent address, Tinubu highlighted that many youths are worried about finding jobs in a still‑recovering economy and coping with rising prices that strain household budgets. He also pointed to gaps in educational resources and the difficulty of launching new enterprises without adequate support.
The president promised that his administration would work to expand job creation programmes, improve affordability of education, and foster a more secure environment for young entrepreneurs and communities.
Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, has a youthful population that makes up a large share of its labour force. Persistent unemployment and inflation have been key issues for this demographic, underscoring the relevance of Tinubu’s remarks.
“I understand the challenges confronting our young people. I know that many of you are concerned about employment, the cost of living, access to education, opportunities to start businesses and the security of your communities,” Tinubu said.
