In a bid to secure a brighter future for the younger generation, the State government has intensified its commitment to youths empowerment through a series of strategic programmes and policy implementations, aimed at equipping youths with skills, opportunities, and platforms for meaningful engagement.

The Commissioner for Youths Development, Amb. Ndanusa Usman Shehu, made this submission today while addressing Kwara youths on an Albarka FM programme titled "Ise nlo", sponsored by the State Government. 

Amb. Ndanusa stressed that the State government is working assiduously to improve the livelihood of youths. 
While highlighting some of the government's initiatives at empowering the youths, the Commissioner praised the State Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON, for his continued support and efforts in empowering youths across the State.

The Commissioner noted some of the government's efforts in the disbursement of financial grants to various community based youth organizations, registered with the Ministry of Youths Development. 
He stressed that the financial aid is a reflection of the government’s continued investment in the energy and potentials of youth driven entrepreneurs.

Amb. Ndanusa further reiterated the collaboration of the Ministry with students in the State in entrepreneurship and skills acquisitions, through involvement in vocational training, or innovation challenges where student bodies help mobilize participants from tertiary institutions.

The Commissioner also emphasized that the Ministry has met with various security organizations in the State to foster partnership, noting that Uniformed Voluntary Youth Organizations registered with the Ministry will benefit from such collaborations with the security outfits, through skills acquisition, military-backed vocational training, and job placement initiatives.
