Dr. Bio-Ibrahim Calls For Collaboration Between Nigerian And Indian Youths
Joel Ajayi
The Honourable Minister of Youth Development Dr Jamila Bio-Ibrahim has called for collaboration between Nigerian and Indian youths to harness the business and investment opportunities that the two nations have to offer.
The Minister made this call while delivering her goodwill message on the occasion of the Nigerian-India Business Forum with the theme “Expanding Trade and Investment Opportunities between Nigeria and India”, which took place at Transcorp Hotels Abuja.
Dr. Bio-Ibrahim said, “Collaboration between Nigeria and Indian youths can extend beyond borders, creating a network of innovation and creativity that knows no limits”
She explained that joint initiatives, mentorship programs, and knowledge exchange can be the bedrock upon which the youth from both countries build enduring partnerships that go beyond geographical boundaries.
The Minister asserted that the youths can be empowered to become trailblazers in the growing partnership between the two countries.
She said, ” I am keenly aware of the crucial role that our youth play in driving economic diversification.”
She added “In today’s interconnected and dynamic world, youths are the driving force of our present. With our vibrant and energetic youth population, Nigeria recognizes the imperative of harnessing this demographic dividend for sustainable economic development.”
The Minister noted that India’s rich history and technological prowess provide a fertile ground for collaboration and innovation.
Speaking further on the pivotal role of young people in the economic prosperity of any nation, Dr. Bio-Ibrahim argued that the youths are active contributors and stakeholders in shaping the economic health of any nation.
The Minister hinged this argument on the fact that young people are job seekers, job creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators.
She, therefore, called for their empowerment with the tools, skills, and opportunities that will enable them to become the catalyst for change in trade and investment.
The Secretary General of Nigeria -India Business Council. Rekha Sharma disclosed plans to expand the partnership between the two nations, especially in the medical sector by bringing doctors that will help in the treatment of various health problems and manufacturers for partnership in the manufacturing of medical equipment.
“We want to bring hospitals that could perform different operations concerning ailments that people are suffering from.” She said.

Nentawe Is a Unifier, Not a Fractionalizer
Cyril Ogar
The North Central Youth Coalition for Asiwaju (NCYCA) wishes to address recent misguided comments and actions by certain unscrupulous elements attempting to undermine the National Chairman of our great Party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Yiltwalda Nentawe, and destabilize the harmony currently enjoyed within our ranks.
In a statement released on Monday in Abuja and signed by the National Coordinator of NCYCA, Mr. James Iorkusah, the group condemned these detractors and reaffirmed its unwavering support for the leadership of Prof. Nentawe.
According to the NCYCA, some so-called “support groups” — notably the All Progressives Congress Youth Solidarity Network (APC-YSN) — are not recognized by the official APC structure and therefore lack the legitimacy to speak for the Party. The statement described the APC-YSN as a fringe coalition of political opportunists bent on sowing division and confusion within the Party for the selfish interests of their sponsors.
“The public should not take these impostors seriously,” the statement read.
Contrary to the false narratives being peddled, the NCYCA emphasized that Prof. Nentawe’s leadership is anchored on unity, inclusion, and progress. His actions and policies have consistently demonstrated a sincere commitment to bridging internal divides, fostering collaboration, and promoting a shared vision for the future of the APC.
Since assuming office, Prof. Nentawe has worked tirelessly to strengthen internal cohesion, reconcile differing interests, and ensure that every member of the APC feels heard and valued. It is therefore unthinkable for any genuine stakeholder to call for his resignation on the baseless accusation of being a “disrupter.”
As a recognized youth support organization within the North Central region, the NCYCA urges all Party stakeholders to rally behind Prof. Nentawe in his quest to advance unity, inclusivity, and the expansion of the APC membership base — welcoming all Nigerians of goodwill, including Governor Caleb Mutfwang, whose name has been mischievously used by political saboteurs to stoke division.
Under Prof. Nentawe’s leadership, the APC has grown stronger, more participatory, and more representative — providing every member with a voice and an avenue for both personal and community growth.
The NCYCA deeply appreciates Prof. Nentawe’s unwavering dedication to the ideals of the All Progressives Congress and looks forward to continued partnership in building a more united, dynamic, and progressive Party.
