On the 2024 International Youth Day, the Honourable Commissioner for Youth Development, Mr. Alfred Kemepado delivered a passionate call to action: “Bayelsa Youth are still the best!” His words inspire us to rise above negative narratives that threaten our potential.

On this Africa Youth Day, with the theme “Embracing an African Fit for the 21st Century,” we are reminded that the future of Bayelsa rests in our hands. It’s time for us to embrace our responsibilities and shape our state’s destiny. Today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders, and our actions will lay the foundation for future generations.

Let us unite in purpose and passion. By setting aside our differences and collaborating, we can unleash the incredible potential within our community. Together, we can create a Bayelsa that reflects our dreams, celebrates our culture, and paves the way for sustainable growth.

This is our moment to shine! Let’s come together and ignite the change we wish to see. The time for action is now. Let’s build a brighter future for all!

Happy Africa Youth Day!
