STATE MINISTER FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, NIGERIAN POLICE PARTNER ON NIGERIAN YOUTH HELP DESK
The office of the Minister of State for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, in collaboration with the Nigerian Police, has launched the Nigerian Youth helpdesk as a measure to receive, processn and escalate concerns from Nigerian youth.
The Minister lauded the role and impact of the Nigerian police in sustaining law and order in the country, while also applauding the Police Affairs Ministers and Inspector General of Police for their cooperation towards the launching of the initiative.
Olawande disclosed that his office will work closely with stakeholders in all 36 states, including the FCT, to ensure that the helpdesk is effective across the country.
“We may not be able to adequately monitor the situation in each state from Abuja, so we will constitute a close relationship with Commissioners of Youth across the country to ensure efficiency,” the Minister stated.
He, however, advised Nigerian youth not to abuse the helpdesk and to ensure only credible and attention-worthy issues and concerns are brought forward.
