YOUNG PROFESSIONALS FOR TINUBU (YP4T): EMBRACING OPPORTUNITY AND
UNITY FOR NIGERIA’S FUTURE

As advocates of progress and members of Young Professionals for Tinubu (YP4T), we believe it is essential to support President Tinubu’s administration and allow it the opportunity to fully realize its vision for Nigeria. After 6 decades of independence, our country finds itself at a crucial juncture. While we must recognize the challenges we face, we should also celebrate the positive steps taken by the current administration, particularly in empowering the youth.

The planned protest on August 1st, in our view, is poorly timed and counterproductive. President Tinubu inherited a nation with decades of accumulated issues. It is unreasonable to expect immediate fixes within a single year. Instead, we must give him the chance to continue implementing his transformative agenda.

Over the past year, President Tinubu’s administration has made substantial progress in addressing youth-related challenges and creating opportunities. Key achievements include:

The National Social Investment Program (NSIP): This initiative has empowered millions of young people and vulnerable citizens, providing them with critical support.

The Presidential Youth Empowerment Scheme (P-YES): Thousands of young Nigerians have benefited from job creation and skills training under this program.

The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Program: This flagship initiative equips young graduates with valuable skills and work experience.

Infrastructure Investments: Major projects like the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the Second Niger Bridge, and the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Expressway and the new ambitious coastal road project linking Lagos to Calabar that aims to link various coastal cities and towns along the country’s extensive coastline, improving access to port facilities and coastal communities, the road will enhance maritime logistics, boost tourism, and support regional development.

Anti-Corruption Measures: The establishment of the Presidential Anti-Corruption Advisory Committee is aimed at fostering transparency and accountability.

Economic Reforms: Policies such as the removal of subsidies and the reformation of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited are designed to stimulate economic growth.

National Gas Expansion Program: This initiative promotes domestic gas usage, reducing reliance on imported fuel and creating new business opportunities.

Presidential Power Initiative: Aiming to boost electricity generation and distribution, which is essential for powering new businesses and startups.

National Agriculture Technology and Innovation Plan: Enhancing agricultural productivity and food security, providing new opportunities in the agribusiness sector.

Youth Representation: The administration has increased youth representation in key decision-making positions, reflecting a commitment to inclusive governance.

In addition to these achievements, President Tinubu has introduced several programs that specifically benefit the youth:

The creation of the Youth Development Fund: To support innovative projects and startups led by young entrepreneurs.

Increased youth representation: The administration has enhanced youth inclusion in governance and decision-making processes, ensuring that young voices are heard.

Support for Youth-Driven Innovation: Initiatives to encourage and support digital and technological innovations by young Nigerians.

While we recognize the economic pressures many Nigerians face, we are confident that President Tinubu’s administration is taking substantial steps to address these challenges and create a more prosperous future. As members of YP4T, we urge our fellow Nigerians to support the administration’s ongoing efforts and embrace the opportunities available.

Take advantage of the initiatives and programs designed to foster growth, enhance skills, and create job opportunities. By actively participating and engaging with these efforts, you contribute to and benefit from the administration’s vision for a better Nigeria.

In conclusion, let us come together to support President Tinubu’s transformative agenda and work collaboratively towards a future where every Nigerian can thrive. The Young Professionals for Tinubu (YP4T) believe that with continued support and patience, this administration will deliver significant and lasting progress for Nigeria.
