Welcome to the Nigeria Emerging Leaders Forum (NELF), a coalition dedicated to empowering Nigerian youth and women to take active roles in governance and politics. Join us in shaping the future of Nigeria through advocacy, capacity building, and policy reform.
Nigeria lacks a clear intergenerational transition strategy. With insufficient leadership training and a weak educational sector, youth participation in economic and political activities is low. Existing policies are often incompatible with modern realities, and the rapid advancement of technology demands a citizenry comfortable with ICT. Despite the critical role youth can play in policymaking, Nigeria’s public service and political spheres remain dominated by older generations.
To create an intergenerational transition plan that ensures young people’s active participation in decision-making for Nigeria’s long-term development and growth.
Establishment of an advocacy group to monitor and ensure the fulfillment of the youth covenant.
Significant youth participation in politics and governance.
