The National Youth Conference
originally scheduled to hold in Abuja from 12th – 15th October, 2021, has been moved to November 1st – 3rd, 2021.
A statement by the Director, Press and Publication, Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, Mr Mohammed Manga, says the new date was picked in recognition of the fact that in 2020, the Federal Government designated 1st November of each year as the NATIONAL YOUTH DAY, hence the decision by the Ministry to hold the conference beginning from Monday 1st to Wednesday 3rd November, 2021.
It says the venue remains the Velodrome inside the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.
The statement says the Ministry of Youth and Sports is committed to working towards a more inclusive and sustainable national development programme for the youth of the country and regrets whatever inconvenience the shift in date may have caused.
