President Bola Tinubu has emphasized that the development of Northern Nigeria is crucial for the overall prosperity of the nation. This declaration was made during a Stakeholders Roundtable on Northern Youth Development, organized by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation in Abuja. The President was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, who conveyed the message that disruptions in one region can adversely affect the entire country. He outlined several measures aimed at restoring stability in the North, which has faced various challenges in recent years.

In his address, Tinubu warned that “whatever disrupts the growth of one region sets back the entire nation,” underscoring the interconnectedness of Nigeria’s regions. He called for urgent action to address the issues affecting the North, including security challenges and economic development.

Additionally, the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar II, spoke at the event, highlighting the vital role of youth education in national development. He stressed the importance of ongoing dialogue with the youth across the country, advocating for continuous engagement to address their concerns and aspirations.

This roundtable discussion marks a significant step towards fostering collaboration between government officials, traditional leaders, and the youth, aiming to create a more stable and prosperous future for Northern Nigeria and the nation as a whole.
