The Youth Advocacy Cluster applauds Governor Umo Eno-led administration for its commitment to youth empowerment initiatives in the state. This is even more commendable because it is coming at such a time when the living conditions of young persons are scaringly worrisome across the nation due to several un-enabling socioeconomic factors and conditions.

We shall be making a press statement to further suggest to the Akwa Ibom State Government how these initiatives should and can be effectively utilised towards achieving the objectives encapsulated in the Arise Agenda with a keen focus on Aspiration 2 - Rural Development and Youth Empowerment.

As of today, our Youth Development and Implementation Framework Policy Tracker shows that we have effectively achieved 1/4 recommendations on our pathway to building appropriate structures and systems for thriving and sustainable youth development.
