In his address at the Workshop for Civil Servants on Digital Transformation, organized by UNESCO for Staff of the Federal Ministry of Youth Development and the Ministry of Information and National Orientation, Comrade Ayodele Olawande emphasized the transformative potential of digital platforms in enhancing the accessibility, reach, and impact of youth and empowerment initiatives.
Comrade Olawande highlighted the necessity of integrating modern technology into youth programs to ensure that the younger generation is not left behind in the digital age. He stated, “In this digital age, we are presented with an incredible array of opportunities to engage, educate, and uplift our younger generation. It is imperative that we evolve and harness these innovative tools to ensure that our youth are not left behind.”
The Minister called on civil servants to prioritize the integration of digital technologies in their initiatives aimed at engaging and empowering the youth. He proposed the establishment of a youth desk in all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), aligning with the President’s advocacy for a proactive approach to the Youth Ministry.

The Minister also lauded UNESCO for its outstanding initiative in empowering civil servants through the integration of digital technology and governance in the public sector. He noted that this progressive approach is poised to transform public service operations, improving efficiency and encouraging greater engagement with citizens.
While soliciting Collaboration with the Ministry of Information and National Orientation, Comrade Olawande stated, “Together, we can harness the power of technology to create a brighter future for the youth of today and tomorrow.
