The Arewa Youth Trust Foundation has announced its strategic focus areas for 2026, targeting key challenges in Northern Nigeria and other parts of the country.
The foundation’s team leader, Fahad-Chikaji Ahmed, told journalists after the organisation’s annual review meeting in Zaria on Friday that the new priorities include tax and economic justice, gender-based violence and climate resilience and environmental sustainability.
He said the new areas were chosen to boost youth engagement in governance, community protection and environmental sustainability.
He added that “these thematic priorities were carefully selected to strengthen AYTF’s impact, enhance youth involvement in governance, promote community protection systems and support long-term environmental resilience”.
He restated the foundation’s dedication to empowering young people, advancing social justice, and driving sustainable development to foster a safer, more prosperous future.
Part of the annual review meeting was a special session to celebrate the academic achievements of the team leader, who successfully completed a doctorate degree.
