The Youth Assembly is an annual forum, started since 2002, and a unique platform for fostering dialogue and generating partnerships between exceptional youth, civil society, the private sector and the United Nations to empower future generation leaders. This year’s summer youth assembly – themed “SOCIETY FOR ALL: Equity and Inclusion for a Sustainable Future” – had about 1,000 delegates in attendance and created different learning, training and investment opportunities to participants such as Coding sessions by Microsoft, innovative technology sessions by Wikipedia, World Bank Group sessions and many more.

Aside the Resolution SVC won by the University of Lagos student for the project named “SAFER HANDS” – an initiative in line with SDG 3 to medically and socially reach out to the grassroots and ensure an healthy future for all, especially the younger generation – other featured awards opportunities include outstanding youth delegates, peer mentorship.

The Press Club, UNILAG congratulates our colleague and fellow, who have not only represented the school of first choice but also our Nation well at such great international assembly and hope to see more of this and more support from the school management.

  1. I read this piece of writing completely about the difference of newest and
    preceding technologies, it’s amazing article.

  2. Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no backup.
    Do you have any methods to stop hackers?

  3. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote
    the book in it or something. I think that you could do
    with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but
    instead of that, this is magnificent blog. An excellent read.

    I will definitely be back.
