Dare Urges Youth To Engage More with Government
Joel Ajayi
The Minister of Youth and Sports Development Mr. Sunday Dare has reiterated the need for Nigerian youth to engage more constructively with the Government instead of being confrontational.
Minister said this on thursday when he was speaking on how to access the Nigerian Youth Investment Fund.
According to him, the first point of call should be the Ministry’s website and I keep telling the youth that we must engage with the government. Of course we know there’s a trust deficit, but we have a government and a president who has worked for the last five years to bridge the trust deficit.
“It is therefore important that as the government is making efforts, there should be a level of responsiveness from the youth.”
Hence, the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development website is one place to visit to make enquiries of all youth targeted initiatives of the government including the NYIF.
“There are other websites like the NIRSAL website and generally there are information about all these initiatives including the Nigerian Youth Investment Fund on google search”.
Meanwhile, Government has dispatched the first fund for the Nigerian Youth Investment Fund for youth owned businesses. This was disbursed in December 2020. The ring fenced loan is to run for 3 years at 25bn per year.

Joel Ajayi
President Bola Tinubu has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara, political leaders and their supporters in Rivers State to exercise restraint and uphold the rule of law.
In response to recent tensions following last Saturday’s local government council election, the President expressed deep concern over reports of arson and explosions in the state.
He urged all political actors to de-escalate the situation and discourage their supporters from engaging in violence or destructive actions.
President Tinubu directed the police to restore and maintain peace, law, and order immediately.
While instructing law enforcement agencies to bring the situation under control, he emphasised the need to ensure the security of public institutions.
President Tinubu said government facilities built with public funds must be safeguarded from vandalism.
He stressed that self-help has no place in a democratic system, especially after 25 years of continuous democracy.
According to President Tinubu, the judiciary can settle all political disputes, and the outcome of this election should be no exception.
