President Bola Tinubu’s dedication to youth development is unmatched, according to Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, Senior Special Assistant on Print Media.
Speaking at the graduation of an ICT training he sponsored for youths and students in Fagge, Kano State, Abdulaziz praised Tinubu’s focus on empowering young Nigerians.
He said, “Mr President has prioritised young people through many initiatives aimed at making our young people self-reliant. The president doesn’t want to give you food; he is giving you the means to get your own food.” Initiatives include training three million youths in IT skills, the Scale-Up Artisans project, and the Nigeria Youth Academy.
Abdulaziz highlighted Tinubu’s appointment of young Nigerians to key roles, including a youthful Minister of Youth Development. He added: “For the first time, we have a truly young Nigerian as minister of youth development. We have other young people in the cabinet and key appointments.”
The ICT training, part of Abdulaziz’s community development efforts, saw top students receive computers for their excellence. He emphasised aligning such initiatives with Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which promotes innovation and self-reliance.
Alhaji Suleiman Ibrahim, a community representative, thanked Abdulaziz for his support, pledging continued prayers for Tinubu’s administration.
