Youth in Nigeria

Youth in Nigeria[1] includes citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria aged 18–29 years according to the new-youth policy (2019).[2] However, the African youths [3] charter recognises youths as people between the age of 15 and 35.[4] Variance in chronologies are used in defining youth and are addressed by members of the state in accordance to their particular society.[5]
