He promised an inclusive platform where young voices are heard, ideas are valued, and potential is unleashed.
Tehile extended a hand of collaboration to fellow leaders, stakeholders, and partners, urging unity to build a Nigeria where no youth is left behind. “Let us march forward together, with courage, unity, and determination, to build a Nigeria that reflects the brilliance of its youth,” he concluded, earning a resounding applause.
The speech, shared widely on social media platforms like Facebook, has sparked hope and optimism among Nigeria’s teeming youth population. As Tehile steps into this pivotal role, all eyes are on the Nigerian Youth Congress to deliver on its promises and shape a future defined by action, innovation, and progress.
