The meeting, held at the instance of the Edo State Government, centered on the proposed Edo State Youth Security Summit, an initiative designed to address emerging security challenges among young people across the state.
During the engagement, the Minister commended the proactive approach of the Edo State Government under the leadership of Senator Monday Okpebholo, noting that youth-focused security interventions remain critical to sustaining peace, economic growth, and social cohesion within the region.
Engr. Momoh emphasized that addressing insecurity requires a multi-layered and collaborative framework, where federal institutions, regional development agencies, and state governments work in alignment to deliver sustainable solutions.
The Commissioner, who had earlier written to the Minister seeking intervention, formally presented the request for a ministerial directive to the Niger Delta Development Commission to partner with the Edo State Government in the planning and execution of the summit.
The Minister acknowledged the strategic importance of the proposed summit, describing it as a timely intervention that aligns with the broader objectives of youth empowerment, community engagement, and regional peacebuilding under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He assured that the Ministry will give due consideration to the request, in line with its mandate to drive inclusive development and strengthen institutional collaboration across the Niger Delta region.
The proposed Youth Security Summit is expected to convene key stakeholders, including youth groups, security agencies, and community leaders, across the three senatorial districts of Edo State, creating a platform for dialogue, policy direction, and actionable outcomes.
The engagement underscores the growing recognition that youth inclusion is central to solving Nigeria’s security equation, and that sustainable peace must be built not just through enforcement, but through participation, opportunity, and structured engagement.
