The Nigerian government has launched the official digital portal for the forthcoming Nigeria Youth Conference, also known as the National Youth Confab.
The government had said that the Youth Confab is aimed at engaging young Nigerians in policy discussions and national development.
The launching was announced on Monday by Minister of Youth Development, Ayode Olawande.
Olawande said the Confab will be inclusive, non-partisan and youth-led.
According to the minister, the theme of the Confab is “Next Gen Nigeria: Crafting Solutions, Owning the Future”.
He said the portal would enable delegates to register, contribute and get real-time updates throughout the time of the Confab.

According to him, the Confab will be held through multi-level participation, including young Nigerians in the diaspora, consultation with youths across the 360 Federal constituencies, zonal consultations in six states, and finally a National Conference in Abuja to harmonise recommendations.
Olawande said the initiative is “more than just a conference,” describing it as “a generational turning point, a national movement, and a call to action”.
President Bola Tinubu had first announced the planned 30-day Youth Confab during his Independence Day broadcast in October 2024.
Tinubu also officially inaugurated a 44-member Planning Committee for the National Youth Conference at the State House in Abuja in March this year.
