International Youth Day
The day is observed in Nigeria with events organized by youth groups, and the focus is on the challenges facing the Nigerian youth (unemployment, poverty, and lack of opportunity). Nigeria has the youngest population in the world (over 60% of the population is under 25), and the day is a reminder that the future of Nigeria depends on the future of its youth. The events include career fairs, mentoring sessions, and the performance of Afrobeats music, and the message is that the Nigerian youth are not just the future, they are the present.
