ENUGU - The Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission, Hon. Hulayat Motunrayo Omidiran, will headline the Peter Eze Youth Connect 2026 in Enugu on September 10, as young Nigerians and key stakeholders converge for a high-level conversation on inclusion, opportunity and the future of youth development.

Omidiran will deliver the keynote address at the event, bringing her perspective on inclusive development and the importance of creating pathways through which young people can participate meaningfully in Nigeria’s economic and social advancement.

The gathering, scheduled for the International Conference Centre, Enugu, is expected to attract youths from different backgrounds alongside community leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders.

Rather than limiting discussions to the challenges confronting young people, the organisers say the programme will focus on practical possibilities, especially how to broaden access to opportunities, strengthen inclusion and harness the skills, creativity and energy of Enugu’s growing youth population.

The event comes at a time when youth empowerment, employment and meaningful participation in governance and development remain critical issues in Nigeria. Participants are expected to share ideas, explore opportunities and engage in conversations capable of translating aspirations into practical action.

For many young Nigerians, the organisers believe, the challenge is not a lack of potential but the availability of the right platforms, opportunities and support systems to transform that potential into measurable impact.

Peter Eze Youth Connect 2026 will hold on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the International Conference Centre, Enugu.

The organisers are positioning the gathering as an opportunity for young people to connect, learn, exchange ideas and prepare for the responsibilities and opportunities that lie ahead.

The future, they emphasise, will not simply happen, it will be shaped by those prepared to take part in it.
