At UNYAN, we recognize that there is a powerful opportunity for society if young people can participate positively in all aspects of sustainable development because young people have an enormous stake in the present and future state of Earth. Almost half of the human population is under the age of 25. If young people’s resources of energy, time, and knowledge are misdirected towards violence, terrorism, socially-isolating technologies, and unsustainable consumption, civilization risks destabilization. In order to do so, young people need education, political support, resources, skills, and hope. This is essentially what we seek to provide under the UNYAN platform.

We support the works of the United Nations in advancing the human development. With core commitment to the actualization of Millennium Development Goals. We mobilize young people to be powerful agents for social transformation in Nigeria.
