The National Youth Council of Nigeria has officially declared nationwide support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections, pledging to mobilize millions of young Nigerians across the 36 states of the federation, the 774 local government areas, and the diaspora to ensure his re-election.
NYCN President, Ambassador Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo, revealed this while addressing journalists in Abuja over the weekend, noting that the Council’s resolution came after wide-ranging consultations.
He stated that the move was a unified decision by youth leaders aimed at building on the achievements of President Tinubu’s first term and ensuring a brighter and more prosperous future for Nigerian youths.
Sukubo stated, “Thereafter, we wish to make it abundantly clear to the entire nation and the global community that under my leadership, the National Youth Council of Nigeria has reached a firm resolution on key national issues. These resolutions, which have emerged after extensive consultations over the past two weeks, reflect the collective voice and aspirations of Nigerian youths across all 36 states and the 774 local government areas.
“Today’s press conference is convened to address issues that directly affect the Nigerian youth, the heartbeat and future of this great nation. It is also aimed at setting the ball rolling for the continued progress, unity, and prosperity of our dear country.
“Having been duly elected alongside members of the National Executive Council of the NYCN, we stand as the legitimate representatives of the entire youth population of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“After due consideration and careful evaluation of national developments under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Nigerian youth have decided to declare their unflinching support for the President to seek a second term in office come 2027.”
Therefore, today, on behalf of over 60 million Nigerian youths, we formally call on His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to declare his intention to contest for the office of President in the 2027 general elections.
Sukubo further stated that Nigerian youths are fully committed to supporting President Tinubu’s re-election ambition and will take the initiative to obtain the party’s presidential nomination form on his behalf.
The NYCN President continued, “This declaration cuts across all 36 states of the federation, the 774 local government areas, and our youth communities in the diaspora. We call on all state chapters, local government coordinators, and affiliate youth organizations under the NYCN to cascade this resolution to the grassroots and mobilize full support nationwide.
“We want to assure Mr. President that he can count on the commitment of Nigerian youths to deliver overwhelming support in 2027. We are confident of mobilizing not less than 40 to 60 million youth votes to guarantee victory for the President.
“It is important to emphasize that the National Youth Council of Nigeria is not a partisan organization. However, our decision stems from our collective desire to secure the future of Nigerian youths and to consolidate on the gains recorded under President Tinubu’s administration, especially in the areas of youth empowerment, education, agriculture, entrepreneurship, digital innovation, and social investment.
“We recognize the President’s unwavering commitment to the growth and inclusion of young people in national development, and we believe that a second term will further strengthen and expand these opportunities for our generation.
On this note, we call on every Nigerian youth, home and abroad, to rise in unity, hope, and determination to ensure continuity and progress in 2027.”

In a strong affirmation of his administration’s vision for a technology-enabled public service, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has reiterated the Federal Government’s unwavering commitment to building a world-class, digitally-driven, and citizen-centred workforce capable of driving inclusive and sustainable national development.
The President, represented by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, OON, mni, at the opening ceremony of the 57th International Conference and Exhibition of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM) held in Abuja, noted that the Conference provides a vital platform for thought leaders, policymakers, and human resource professionals to examine and discuss the evolving dynamics of work under the theme, “Reimagining the New World of Work.”
President Tinubu commended the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria for its consistency and nearly six decades of professional excellence, ethical leadership, and dedication to human capital development in Nigeria. He acknowledged the Institute’s invaluable role in promoting professionalism and strengthening workforce governance across both public and private sectors.
Highlighting the Administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the President emphasized that “Nigeria’s greatest asset is not its oil or minerals, but its people.” He underscored key Federal Government initiatives such as the 3 Million Technical Talent Programme (3MTT) and the National Talent Export Programme (NATEP), designed to position Nigeria as a global hub for skilled digital professionals.
The President also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ongoing public service transformation through the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2025 (FCSSIP25), which aims to achieve a fully digital and paperless civil service by 31st December, 2025.
He explained that the adoption of the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution is a major milestone in enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accountability in public service operations.
In his welcome address, the President and Chairman of the Governing Council of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM), Mallam Ahmed Ladan Gobir FCIPM, fnli, emphasized that the future of work will not necessarily reward the strongest or the smartest, but those courageous enough to remain human in a digital world. He described the conference as “not just another HR event, but a transformative movement that will echo through boardrooms, classrooms, and corridors of influence for years to come.”
Mallam Gobir reaffirmed the Institute’s commitment to redefining workplace leadership and advancing professional excellence. He urged human resource professionals to transcend traditional management practices and cultivate work environments “where humans and technology collaborate, not compete; where innovation meets integrity, and productivity aligns with purpose.”
