There is a need to intentionally strengthen the youth resolve and awaken the shrinking civic spaces in Nigeria. It is critical to start to invest into young people in order to unlock productivity and innovation, thus reducing poverty and insecurity in the country. Recognizing this need, LEAP Africa in partnership with BudgIT Foundation & MacArthur Foundation is relaunching one of its flagship programmes – the Youth Leadership Programme (YLP) which is designed to equip undergraduates between the ages of 18 and 30 in higher institutions across Nigeria with the skills for Personal Leadership, Community/Sustainable Development and Active Citizenship towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
