Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>PRESIDENT Hage Geingob has called for the inclusion of youth in leadership structures for them to be represented and express their opinions on important subjects.<\/p>\n

PRESIDENT Hage Geingob has called for the inclusion of youth in leadership structures for them to be represented and express their opinions on important subjects.<\/p>\n

Geingob said this on the International Youth Day on Friday. The youth day is commemorated every year on 12 August.<\/p>\n

This year, the day was celebrated under the theme ‘Intergenerational solidarity: creating a world of all ages’.<\/p>\n

Geingob said Namibian youth should have a primary responsibility to serve as champions for their own development by fully taking part in the socio-economic development in their communities and the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must devise innovative ideas to use their acquired skills to create innovative business ideas,\u201d Geingob said, adding that<\/p>\n

although the government cannot resolve all the issues that affect young people on its own, both the state and young people need to make a commitment.<\/p>\n

\u201cNamibian youth should foster a culture of unity and nation building by shunning the ‘isms’ of tribalism, racism and regionalism,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n

Geingob said the government will continue to live by its responsibilities to accompany and support young people in their endeavours to become productive citizens.<\/p>\n

In addition, Geingob said by appointing young people, the government ensured youth inclusion in the executive and legislative arms of government.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn education, business, sport and the arts, young people are making tangible contributions that foster our development as a country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The president said the largest share of the national budget is dedicated to developing young people in the fields of education, agriculture, entrepreneurship and other fields that are pivotal to national development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have created an environment in which young people can thrive and remain committed to ensuring our children and youth a secure setting for learning, development and growth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor progress to be meaningful, impactful and sustainable, I invite and challenge the Namibian youth to take advantage of all the government programmes and initiatives that seek to advance the interest of young people,\u201d Geingob said.<\/p>\n

Geingob said youth make up the largest percentage of Namibia’s population.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn that vein, we should continue holding hands and prioritise our young people to become generational leaders,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the Ministry of Sport, Youth and National Service, as a custodian of youth affairs, has made commendable efforts through the third National Youth Policy on 21 July 2021.<\/p>\n
