But beyond commendation, this moment invites a broader political reflection: youth empowerment should not be treated as charity — it is a strategic imperative for sustainable governance. Across Nigeria, young people form the largest demographic bloc, yet remain the most underutilized political and economic force. Many leaders speak of inclusion; few actively create pathways for mentorship, opportunity,…
