“It contained the commitments of the government, the youth of Lagos State and the society in pursuance of youth growth and development.”

The Permanent Secretary further stated that the Stakeholders’Meeting was organized to “critically assess the current youth policy by identifying the major gaps, challenges and its impact as the policy migrate from the current 15- thematic areas to the five-pillars entrenched in the Revised National Youth Policy.”

In his remarks, the Program Co-ordinator, Youth Alive Foundation,Mr Chamberlain Efukudoh described the step being taken by the state government towards reviewing the document as a commendable one that should be pursued to its logical conclusion.

According to him, the process has provided a feedback mechanism in the sense that it was done by critical stakeholders in the sector, thereby making it not only participatory but holistic in its approach.

On her part, Representative of UNFPA, Mrs Esthet Somefun, while commending the state government, said that the review was long over due, taking into cognisance, the fact that the current document didn’t capture some of the present realities being faced by youths in Lagos State.

She stated that issues affecting the youths must not be toyed with if the state must make progress in all areas.

In the same vein, Representative of Youth Inspired Network, Oluwatoyin Adejokun stated that the review process was one that would make room for open and constructive contributions.

He expressed the hope that the outcome of the meeting and its overall results would help the youth in fulfilling their potentials.

The representative of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Lagos State Chapter, Mr Lekan Biliaminu and Lagos State Youth Ambassador, Miss Zainab Aderounmu said that the product of the review would go a long way in addressing the challenges currently faced by the youths in the State.

In her presentation, the Consultant, Dr Toriola Femi Adebayo said that with the review , the Lagos State Youth Policy was migrating from 15-Thematic Areas to five pillars ; Productive Workforce and Sustainable Economic Engagement of Youth; Health and Health -Promoting Life Style; Participation, Inclusiveness and Equitable Opportunities for all Youths; Promotive and Protective Environment for Youth Development; and Partnership Building and Effective Collaboration)which would be in tandem with the National Youth Policy and  holistic in addressing the challenges of the youths in Lagos.(vitalnewsngr.com)
