Sunday, 25 October 2026 · 5:00pm - 6:00pm · Transcorp Hilton, Abuja
About this session
Nigeria’s young population is its greatest economic and political asset, yet youth face persistent barriers to jobs, skills, opportunity and meaningful participation in governance. The NESG Youth Priorities Survey will transform dispersed youth concerns into credible evidence, enabling policymakers and political leaders to respond to clearly articulated priorities and strengthen Nigeria’s development agenda.
