The National Youth Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dayo Israel and rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, have been billed to speak at the 7th edition of the Nigerian Symposium for Young and Emerging Leaders scheduled to hold on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, in Lagos.
The summit, with the theme, ‘People, Politics and Power,’ is organised by The Future Project, through its YMonitor Accountability Programme, to provide engaging opportunities for intending participants to meet with foremost thought leaders in Nigeria’s political scene.
The symposium, according to Bukonla Adebakin, Senior Advisor at The Future Project, will bring together thought leaders in politics and social advocacy to discuss the intersection between the politics of the country and the Nigeria we desire and imagine.
“This year’s symposium is an avenue for young Nigerians to discuss how politics impact their everyday lives and how they can actively participate. The panel sessions have been designed to encourage discussion around current and trendy political issues of the day,” Adebakin said in a statement yesterday.
Session topics include discussions on Young People and the Politics of Money in Nigeria, Let Us Imagine Nigeria: A New Blueprint for the Future and Hashtags to Ballots: Raising the Bar for Political Participation in Nigeria’s 2023 Elections.
