Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to President Bola Tinubu on Print Media, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, has praised the president’s “unprecedented” commitment to the development of young people in Nigeria.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony of the first batch of ICT trainees he sponsored in his native Fagge Local Government Area of Kano State, Abdulaziz highlighted the significance of the initiative as part of a broader effort to empower youths with essential digital skills, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Tinubu administration.
During the ceremony, Abdulaziz presented computers to the top-performing students in recognition of their excellence and dedication.
He emphasised that President Tinubu has redefined youth engagement and empowerment, offering new opportunities for the nation’s young population.
“Mr President has prioritised young people through many initiatives aimed at making our young people self-reliant. The president may not give you food, he is providing you with the means to get your own food,” he said.
The president’s special aide listed the administration’s initiatives such as training of 3 million young Nigerians in IT skills, the Scale Up Artisans project and the Nigeria Youths Academy, among other interventions.
He added that Tinubu has also given young people voice by appointing young Nigerians into his cabinet and other important positions.
“For the first time we have a truly young Nigerian as minister of youths development. We have other young people in the cabinet and key appointments. We have to appreciate that.”
Abdulaziz said the IT training he sponsored was a way of giving back to the community and uplifting the underprivileged to attain their full potentials as part of his ongoing commitment to community development.
He reaffirmed his commitment to continuing the empowerment of the youth and overall development of Fagge and Kano State.
He emphasized that such initiatives are essential in actualising the aspirations of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which he note, prioritise inclusive growth, innovation, and self-reliance.
In his speech, Alhaji Suleiman Ibrahim, who spoke on behalf of the Fagge community, expressed appreciation to the presidential aide for his consistent support and developmental strides.
He assured that the community will reciprocate through continued support and prayers for the success of the Tinubu administration.
