The Federal Ministry of Youth Development recently hosted a high-level workshop focused on advancing the professionalisation of youth work in Nigeria. With the theme, “The Nexus Between Professionalisation of Youth Work and the Demographic Dividends,” the event brought together stakeholders, practitioners, and policymakers to explore how structured, professional youth engagement can unlock the potential of Nigeria’s growing young population. This initiative marks a significant step towards recognising youth work as a vital field in national development.
