ABUJA, Nigeria, 6 August 2024/African Media Agency/-The Nigeria Youth SDGs Network, registered as the Network of Youth for Sustainable Initiative (NGYouthSDGs) in partnership with Oxfam in Nigeria, is gearing up to celebrate the 2024 International Youth Day (IYD). The event, themed “From Awareness to Action: Empowering Youth in Nigeria for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”, will take place on August 12-13 in Abuja, Nigeria.
African Newspage is the Official Media Partner of this event organized by the Nigeria Youth SDGs Network (NGYouthSDGs) and Oxfam in Nigeria.
The 2024 IYD event will highlight the significant contributions of young Nigerians towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in communities across Nigeria. It aims to educate and sensitize young people on their roles in promoting Gender Equality, Climate Action, Education, Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Active Citizenship.
The event will facilitate idea-sharing, promote best practices, and encourage dialogue and collaboration between marginalized youth and youth stakeholders to drive collective action. It will also provide a platform for networking among young people, changemakers, policymakers, industry leaders, and peers, while promoting alliances among local youth networks for sustainable development.
According to a press release by the Network, the 2024 IYD presents a vital opportunity to enhance youth awareness and participation in the SDGs. It emphasizes the importance of youth involvement in critical development issues and celebrates young people’s contributions to sustainable development.
As the world approaches 2030, partnerships between youth, government, private sector, civil society, and academia are crucial for achieving the SDGs. The impact of climate change necessitates collaboration between youth and older generations to create a prosperous future and address challenges such as displacement and loss of livelihoods.
