As the world commemorated World Youth Skills Day 2025, We The Youths, in partnership with Yakubu Gowon University, Abuja, proudly empowered over 3,800 undergraduates through a transformative skills acquisition program.

Today, as the world observes the International Day of Peace, we are reminded that peace is not just the absence of war, but the triumph of conscience over conflict.

Travel to Ebonyi, and you will see youths building rice mills with their bare hands, not waiting for foreign investors. In these villages, life is hard, yes! but it is also real. People work, produce, and survive. They do not complain about the dollar, because their wealth is in cassava...
