ENUGU YOUTH CONFERENCE 2026: HON. PRISCA OKEKE DEEPENS GOVERNOR MBAH'S YOUTH FIRST VISION WITH TIMELY POLICY SUMMIT

ENUGU – Pursuant to the bold demonstration of the Enugu State Government's unwavering commitment to youth inclusion, the Office of the Special Assistant to the Governor on Youth and Students Affairs, led by Hon. Prisca Okeke, has unveiled plans for the Enugu Youth Conference 2026 (EYC 2026)—a groundbreaking initiative designed to place young people at the center of governance and public policy.

With the theme, "Youth in Policy Making: A Vision of Shared Responsibility," the conference is more than an event; it is a strategic platform where ideas will meet leadership and where the voices of young people will influence the policies shaping the future of Enugu State.

The initiative further reflects the administration of Governor Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, whose youth-centered reforms in education, technology, entrepreneurship, innovation, and job creation have continued to redefine governance in the state. Through this conference, the government is reinforcing its belief that young people are not merely beneficiaries of development but active partners in driving it.

As the convener, Hon. Prisca Okeke has continued to distinguish herself as a passionate advocate for youth and student development. Her leadership has created a bridge between government and the younger generation, ensuring that the aspirations, challenges, and innovative ideas of Enugu youths are integrated into the state's developmental agenda.

The conference will bring together youth leaders, student leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, gamers, tech innovators, community leaders, policymakers, and other stakeholders for robust discussions on how young people can participate directly in policy formulation, implementation, and governance.

Scheduled for Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at the International Conference Centre (ICC), Enugu, the event promises to be one of the largest youth policy engagements in the state, fostering collaboration, innovation, and shared responsibility for the future.

As Enugu continues its journey towards becoming Nigeria's premier destination for investment, innovation, and sustainable development, the Enugu Youth Conference 2026 stands as another testament to a government that recognizes the immense potential of its young population.

Indeed, under the stewardship of Governor Peter Mbah and the dynamic coordination of Hon. Prisca Okeke, the future is no longer a distant promise—it is being deliberately shaped by the very youths who will inherit it.
