President Bola Tinubu says his administration has taken bold steps to place young Nigerians at the heart of national development.

President Tinubu made this known in a personally written message to Nigerians, marking the second anniversary of his administration, revealing the achievements and progress accomplished in the last two years.

Tinubu also revealed that his administration has established a more favourable tax framework for digital jobs, enabling young Nigerians to work remotely and empowering them economically.

“We have taken bold steps to place young Nigerians at the heart of national development. Nowhere is this more evident than at the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), where the current management is making giant strides. NASENI has embraced a digital-first approach, introduced real-time dashboards, and implemented end-to-end e-procurement through its Unified ERP System, setting a new governance benchmark for public institutions.

“There is a deliberate focus on our youth, who a friendlier tax environment for digital jobs and remote work will empower. Through export incentives, Nigerian businesses will be able to compete globally. Our National Single Window project streamlines international trade, reduces delays, and enhances Nigeria’s competitiveness.

“Through bold, high-impact programmes like Innovate Naija, Irrigate Nigeria, the Asset Restoration Programme, and the Renewable Energy and Innovation Park in Gora, NASENI drives inclusive industrialisation at scale. From assembling electric vehicles and reviving idle assets to launching Africa’s most advanced Rapid Diagnostic Kit Factory and training female drone engineers through the NASCAV programme, these initiatives are creating jobs, restoring dignity to work, and opening up a future of possibilities for our youth. This is the movement we promised, a government of action powered by the energy and innovation of young Nigerians.”

The Nigerian leader further listed youth empowerment initiatives of the Renewed Hope administration to include access to funds, skill development, and creating employment opportunities.

He added that in its mission to empower the next generation, the Renewed Hope initiative, through the MSME support, is empowering the next generation and bridging inequality.

The President revealed that Nigeria is preparing to host the world for the Motherland Festival, an event to showcase Nigeria’s beauty through tourism, culture, and innovation.

President Tinubu further revealed that the event, which will invite the world to rediscover the nation, is a landmark gathering that will spotlight the nation’s rich cultural heritage, dynamic creative industries and vibrant energy of the Nigerian people.

“In the spirit of democracy and national renewal, we are preparing to welcome the world to Nigeria soon for the Motherland Festival. This landmark gathering will spotlight our rich heritage, dynamic creative industries, and the vibrant energy of our people. It will showcase Nigeria’s beauty through tourism, culture, and innovation, inviting the world to rediscover our nation.

“The Nigerian diaspora plays a vital role in our national transformation. Their expertise, investment, and global perspective are key to shaping the future we seek. In recognition, the government has introduced policies like the diaspora bond and the non-resident Bank Verification Number to make it easier for Nigerians abroad to invest, engage, and contribute meaningfully to the country’s progress.”

President Tinubu further highlighted that the Motherland Festival will bring together voices from across the continent and the diaspora in a decisive moment of unity and purpose.

He affirmed that Nigeria is not only a leader in Africa but a committed global partner ready to engage, inspire, and lead.

Once again, I acknowledge the sacrifices many Nigerians have made and continue to make as we reposition our country, not just for today but for generations yet unborn. Our journey is not over, but our direction is clear. So is our resolve to tackle emerging challenges. By the grace of God, we are confident that the worst is behind us. The real impact of our governance objectives is beginning to take hold. The future is bright, and together, we will build a stronger, more inclusive Nigeria that we can all be proud of,” the president added.
