Special Adviser to the Governor on Sustainable Development Goals and Investment, Mrs Solape Hammond
According to the statement issued by the Special Adviser to the Governor on SDGs and Investment, Solape Hammond, the initiative is focused on galvanizing the potentials of youth towards making a strong impact in each of the targets of the SDGs and solving some of the leading challenges at the local level.
‘’Development of a country depends on how productive and creative its young population is and how much importance the government accords to its youth. Despite the growing economy and technological progress observed in the State, there are still many societal challenges that need to be overcome to enhance human development, recognising the significant roles the youths can play in the attainment of the SDGs is a potent means to catalysing the development agenda of the state, Solape said.
While revealing that the initiative is to further highlight the vital roles young people can play in eliminating poverty and reducing inequality and ensure that no one is left behind, the Senior Special Assistant noted that engaging young people in development programmes has a compelling impact on their personal development, their empowerment, their ability to connect with more people in their community.
