He said; “In Kwara, we the youths are changing the narratives with the support of the Governor. I am sure, with what is happening now, by next year this time around again lots of youths will come and tell us their journey so far. And it is going to be in a positive way.

“And those of us at the helm of affairs we will continue to do our best in contributing our quotas for the development of youth. I am sure more youth will be engaged as far as this government is concerned.”

The colourful event featured panel discussion and testimonies by some youths who have triumphed in their businesses like technological space and entertainment industry;.

A member of the House of Assembly Rukayat, appreciated Governor AbdulRazaq for assisting the youth to realize their potentials, an attitude she noted is evident in how she emerged as the youngest legislator in Nigeria.

The State Commisioner for Youth and Development, Lade, in his welcome address, said the government is committed to “creating a space where creativity not only flourishes, but directly influences policies where governance is not just a system, but a reflection of the aspirations and innovations of our youth.”

He encouraged youths to be creative, while learning from the experiences of already established youths that are well in the creative industry.

Also the Commissioner for Communication, Bola Olukoju, who spoke on various youth-friendly programmes and the investments by the administration like Innovation Hub, Garment Factory and Sugar Film Factory Studio, said Governor AbdulRazaq is doing a lot to empower the youths and make Kwara a business hub.

The Managing Director, Innovation Hub Center, Temi said the digital world offers a lot of opportunities for people especially the youth to tap, and urged them to shine their eyes and show more commitment to grow their businesses through tech space.

One of the resource persons, the CEO of Hajjewels Creations, Hajarah Jibril, encouraged youths to be resilient, and make good use of the internet and social media to positively enhance their brands.

Another resource person, Haneefah Adam, advised youths to make use of resources available to them to portray and pursue their dreams, adding “my growth as an artist has always been me using the resources I have to develop myself”.

Sola Rahman, the CEO for Sola Rahman Brand, who shared his experience, said he decided to relocate his business to Kwara state because of the enabling environment the administration has created for the business community particularly the creative industry.
