Speaking about government policies and their impact on young people, he said: “For all young people around the world, we cry out of inclusion in the formulation and implementation of government policies. The United Nations have stipulated a certain percentage of young people and women to be part of any government.
The ability to move. The world will be a better place for everyone to live when the government includes young people in the government. I see no reason why 40 percent of the entire government cannot be young. 40 percent of any government formation must be young. This will cause young people to have more initiative. If you also look at the history of the prophets that Allah sent to humanity, most of them began when they were young.
Therefore, it is when young people are included in the government and other activities that can make positive impacts. This is part of what we need to learn from Nasfat. Nasfat has always been stirring for the inclusion of young people in every human effort. Our organization always thinks about the future. Nasfat thinks further now.
During the press conference, the president of Nasfat mentioned that there are many things that the government can learn from Nasfat in terms of structure and organization. As a youth wing of Nasfat, we are saying that the government should include young people in the government's decision -making body. “
Speaking more about the objectives and objectives of the conference with the issue of “global citizenship through the lens of faith: connect local actions with global results,” the Amir said it aims to provide a platform for the creation of networks, spiritual elevation and general growth for young Muslims.
Olasupo said: “The 18th Naspfat Youth Conference will focus on several issues related to youth development, faith, social responsibility and general growth for young Muslims. Its objective is to be a transformative experience for young Muslims, offering opportunities for growth, networks and spiritual development.
Nasfat in the last 30 years has been preaching peaceful coexistence. In Nasfat, we not only focus on Muslims, but we join the non -Muslims. About two months ago, we made advice and training for an Islamic organization selected in Lagos.
It was a session fully funded by Nasfat on how to build a happy home based on Islamic principles. We do not stop only with our members, we are also bringing other groups. If there is no peace in your home, it will definitely rub negatively in your neighbor next door.
With more than 5 million members throughout the country. We have been able to achieve many associations with international organizations. We will launch the history book of society as part of the activities to commemorate the 30th anniversary. “
Amirah, the youth wing, Ummulikayr Adelev described the conference not only as a conference, but also a faith -based meeting where hundreds of young Muslims throughout the country and beyond discuss several issues rooted in Islamic values.
The vice governor of Lagos, Dr. Obafemi Kadiri, is expected to.
