Vice President professor Yemi Osinbajo has called on ECOWAS region to be conscious of growing the population of its young people and the need to provide quality healthcare, education and nutrition for them.
At the presentation of the Strategy Documents of the Human Capitgal Development Programmes for ECOWAS and Nigeria organised by the National Economic Council (NEC) osinbajo said Africa is the youngest and fastest growing continent as West Africa is being projected to have 400 million young people by 2050.
He insisted that the essence of the documents was to buttress that the people were central to all that governments and private sector or civil society partners did.
He warned that an idle, youthful population would portend an increased risk of social instability.
