The Federal Government has called on leaderships in Africa to join hands to evolving a common policy approach in developing elaborate programmes that will address the challenges of developing human social capital that the continent is blessed with.
The Minister of Youth Development, Inuwa Abdul-Kadir, made the call at a press briefing on the celebration of the African Youth Day in Abuja.
According to him, "the day provides a platform to develop the desired partnership among governments, National, Regional, International NGOs and Civil Societies in youth development.
"In line with this year's theme: 'Africa – Deliver as One for Sustainable Youth Development', the ministry is working out a partnership proposal with relevant stakeholders to further celebrate the event with programmes that are beyond conferences and seminars".
The Minister noted that there is need to celebrate the good deeds of african youths despite the present insecurity challenges faced by some countries in the African continent.
