At today’s Ministerial Statement at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, I delivered a clear message: Africa stands at a defining moment. With a population of over 1.4 billion projected to reach 2.5 billion by 2050 and nearly 70% of its people under the age of 30, our continent holds immense potential. Yet each year, approximately 12 million young Africans enter the labor market, while only about 3 million formal jobs are created. This gap is not merely an economic concern, but a pressing development and stability challenge. I shared that Uganda’s experience demonstrates a critical lesson real transformation requires coordinated and deliberate action that connects young people to economic systems and enables a shift from subsistence livelihoods to meaningful participation in the money economy. Uganda has taken practical steps to address this challenge. Through initiatives such as the Youth Livelihood Programme (YLP) and the Parish Development Model (PDM), Government is extending financial support and bringing services closer to communities to stimulate grassroots economic participation. The Emyooga Programme has further strengthened access to affordable finance by organizing citizens into savings and enterprise groups, many of them youth led. In addition, investments in skilling through Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), as well as digital innovation hubs, are equipping young people with competencies relevant to today’s evolving economy. I emphasized three key priorities. First, investing in future-ready skills, including digital, green, and entrepreneurial capabilities. Second, unlocking financing for youth led enterprises, leveraging frameworks such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Third, ensuring young people are engaged as co creators in policymaking, not merely beneficiaries. Africa’s transformation must be integrated, youth centered, and driven by strong partnerships. The time to act is now. The future of Africa is not ahead of us it is already here. Barugahara Balaam Ateenyi Hon. MSYCA

Mrs. Olu Verheijen, Executive Secretary of the Presidential Metering Initiative (PMI), has described the launch of the Power Force Programme as a major step in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's vision to close Nigeria's metering gap, create jobs for young Nigerians, and build a modern electricity sector driven by skilled local talent. What to know: - The Power Force Programme was launched to train 5,000 young Nigerians to support the nationwide rollout of smart electricity meters. - The initiative forms part of the Presidential Metering Initiative (PMI) established by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ensure that Nigerians pay only for the electricity they consume. - The programme is expected to support the installation of 7 million electricity meters across the country. - Power Force is designed not just to train meter installers but to build long-term careers, develop technical skills, and strengthen Nigeria's electricity workforce. - Although only 5,000 training slots were available, the programme received nearly 220,000 applications from young Nigerians nationwide, demonstrating strong interest in technical and vocational employment opportunities. - Successful participants will have direct pathways to employment with electricity distribution companies and licensed meter providers. - The programme aims to create sustainable employment while supporting the expansion and modernisation of Nigeria's electricity distribution network. - The first phase of implementation begins in Abuja before expanding to all six geopolitical zones, ensuring nationwide participation.
