We must identify the most serious challenges, review the solutions already proposed, and develop clear, practical and achievable action plans that can guide government decisions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olawande said the virtual consultations involved young Nigerians from all states and covered governance, employment, education, technology, climate change, peace and security, and national unity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the conference was designed to give young people a meaningful voice in decisions affecting their lives, beyond government interventions in education, skills training, business support and job creation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are not here just to speak to ourselves. We are here to help shape decisions that will affect millions of young Nigerians who are not in this room.
