He called on youths to embrace the initiative, highlighting accountability and transparency as key to its success. "This is a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Lagos State Government to youth development," he stated.
Pharmacist (Mrs.) Toyin Oke-Osanyintolu, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, referred to the policy as a dynamic roadmap for unlocking youth potential. She urged youths to seize the opportunities it provides and translate its provisions into tangible outcomes, ensuring its continued relevance in addressing emerging realities.

Goodwill messages from various stakeholders further emphasized the significance of the policy. Mrs. Esther Somefun (UNFPA) underscored the importance of youth ownership and full engagement for its success. Engineer Olamilekan Adigun (NYCN Lagos State Chapter) highlighted the relevance of the policy in fostering youth participation and sustainable development. Judith Gbagidi (ActionAid Nigeria) stressed the importance of partnership and youth involvement in implementation, while Mr. Chamberlain (Youth Alive Foundation) called for collective responsibility to ensure the policy delivers positive impacts over the next five years.
