The Minister of Youths and Sports, Solomon Dalung, on Friday in Abuja urged the United Nations to create a Commission which would address issues related to youth development.
Dalung said this when he received the UN Secretary General’s Youth Envoy, Jayathma Wickramanayake, in his office.
“The absence of this has led to our not having a meaningful development in the youth, because there is no platform for the young people to operate.
“The Nigeria youths are facing poverty, not only material poverty but also poverty of the mind. Unemployment and lack of inclusion in governance.
“Once the UN runs an inclusive policy of having a specific budget for the youths, it will go a long way in addressing some of these problems,’’ the minister said.
