Lasisi said this year’s conference was aimed at providing a platform for young individuals to engage in discussions, gain valuable insights, and equip themselves with essential skills for success in the digital age.
He added that the youth conference would include free medical examinations, community clean up and public awareness campaign on important issues, which could provide mentorship, guidance among others.
