The Youth Assembly of Nigeria (YAN) is the apex youth decision-making body for the enhancement of peace and youth development in Nigeria. It runs a legislative system of government with conglomeration of all state youth Ambassadors as parliamentarians.
Youth Assembly of Nigeria (YAN) has thirty-seven (37) Youth Ambassadors, each representing the 36 states in Nigeria including FCT Abuja, 109 Coordinators for the 109 senatorial zones, 774 coordinators for the 774 local governments and ward chapters.
YAN came into limelight in 2011 when youth leaders from the Six geopolitical zones of our country Nigeria resolved that, change is a factor that cannot be left out in the quest to attain a true egalitarian society as the ubiquity of the Nigerian Socio-cultural-economic cum political pacta which is traceable to 1914 and 1960 so to say, is losing strength on a daily basis as insecurity, cultism and kidnapping cases has taken over the country and has tainted the image of our country in general as perceived by the outside world.
As the voice of the Nigerian youths, in our prayers for societal change and development, the Youth Assembly is equipped and charged in all ramifications to propagate and seal a lasting irrevocable and jealous legacy as regards the problems facing our beloved country Nigeria.
The loss of our economic might in the nation is worrisome to mention some basic areas;
1. Coal mining
2. Agriculture (production of palm oil)
3. Tourism (refurbishment of our lakes and other recreation centers)The collapse of some of our refineries
4. The collapse of Ajaokuta Steel
5. The fall of Arewa textiles Kaduna
6. The crisis of savannah bank and bank of the north
7. The fall of Jos steel rolling mills cum other existing economic institutions that have totally collapsed has rendered our zones/ country dependent on oil sector which cannot meet the needs and challenges of the whole nation, thereby narrowing the employment opportunities in the zones and country at large. All these have indeed been part of our driving force.
8. Falling and sub-standard higher institutions and generally the education sector.
9. Rising spate of unemployment
10. Alternative solution to a petroleum dependent economy.
11. Impeded rights of the youths.
