FG Omits Youth Conference Funding in 2025 Budget

Nigeria's federal government has omitted allocation for the proposed National Youth Confab scheduled to hold in February 2025.

In a move that has sparked concern among youth advocates, the Federal Government has omitted allocation for the proposed National Youth Confab from its 2025 budget. The confab, scheduled to take place in February 2025, aims to provide a platform for young Nigerians to discuss and address issues affecting their generation. However, with no financial provision made for the event, it remains unclear how the confab will be able to proceed without funding. This decision has raised eyebrows among those who had been counting on the government's support for the initiative.
