Commissioners of Youth from All Progressives Congress (APC)-governed states have reiterated their loyalty to the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), committing to champion youth-led transformation as a foundation for building a progressive Nigeria.
Naijaonpoint reports that the reaffirmation of commitment was made in a communiqué issued at the conclusion of the PGF Quarterly Meeting of Honourable Commissioners of Youth, held from August 7-8, 2025, and hosted by the Kaduna State Government.
In their communiqué, the commissioners pledged to align with the vision of the PGF under the leadership of Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, and expressed their unwavering loyalty to the Progressive Governors.
“We pledge to uphold the principles of transparency, accountability, and performance-driven governance,” the communiqué read.
“We also express a strong commitment to championing youth-led transformation as a cornerstone for building a progressive Nigeria.”
The Forum commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his “visionary leadership in harnessing the energy, creativity, and aspirations of young Nigerians as drivers of national renewal and inclusive development.”
The commissioners also unanimously endorsed the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which they said “places youth at the center of Nigeria’s socio-economic transformation.”
They lauded APC governors for their sustained investments in youth development, highlighting initiatives in skills training, digital infrastructure, entrepreneurship, the creative economy, and sports as “key drivers for a prosperous and secure Nigeria.”
The communique acknowledged the roles of the President and the governors in addressing critical national issues such as drug abuse, youth restiveness, and unemployment.
“We applaud the contributions of these interventions to national stability and the promotion of social inclusion,” the commissioners added.
The meeting resolved to adopt a PGF Unified Inter-State Youth Development Framework aimed at boosting cross-state collaboration, ensuring policy alignment, and scaling innovative solutions for youth empowerment.
In addition, the commissioners committed to integrating digital skills, innovation, and entrepreneurship into state-level youth policies to produce a “youth generation that is future-ready, productive, and inclusive.”
The commissioners expressed gratitude to Governor Uba Sani for hosting the meeting and to the PGF Secretariat for its “strategic coordination and steadfast commitment to advancing youth-focused initiatives.”
The meeting also pledged to deepen partnerships, strengthen youth policies, and drive collaborative action across APC-governed states in pursuit of national progress.
