Seyi, the son of President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, led his Renewed Hope Youth Engagement team on a courtesy visit to Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House in the state capital.

During the visit, Governor Sani promised to propose the creation of a Ministry of Youth Development to the Kaduna State Executive Council.

The Governor praised Seyi for his humility and nationwide engagement with youths across different tribes, religions, and political affiliations.

“I was impressed with what you did in Kano yesterday by interfacing with youths across the board.  I commend your efforts in uniting youths for positive outcomes,” the governor said.

Sani emphasized the importance of harnessing the talents of youths, stating that the nation’s future depends on it.

He also highlighted the Federal Government’s policies and programs focused on education and the digital economy, stressing that youths can only benefit from these opportunities if they remain united and avoid being divided by politicians along ethno-religious lines.

He said, “The All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government has many policies and programmes related to the education sector and digital economy.

“Youths can only leverage these opportunities when they are united and refuse to allow politicians to divide them along ethno-religious lines.”

Earlier, the Minister of Your Development, Mr. Ayodele Olawande, had urged the state governor to create a Ministry of Youth Development to give youths a sense of belonging.

The Punch online reports that the President’s son and his team had Iftar with Muslim youths in Kano and met with Ahmadu Bello University students in Zaria on Tuesday.

The team also paid homage to the Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, before paying a courtesy call on Governor Uba Sani.

At sunset, the team is expected to have Iftar with youth groups in Kaduna.
