Our Heritage
The Legacy of Edo Youth
Edo State has a deep history of youthful strength, leadership, and ingenuity. From the era of the Benin Kingdom, where young warriors and artisans shaped the cultural and economic foundation of the region, to the present day, where Edo youths continue to stand out in education, entertainment, technology, and activism — the youth of Edo have always been builders of legacy.
Our youth have carried the spirit of excellence into all sectors — from the streets of Benin City to global corridors of innovation, leadership, and culture.
New Leadership
A New Dawn Under Governor Monday Okpebholo
Under the leadership of His Excellency, Governor Monday Okpebholo, Edo State is entering a new era of youth inclusion and empowerment. Governor Okpebholo has committed to building a government that listens to, learns from, and works with young people to unlock the full potential of the state.
The administration recognizes that the youth are not just the future, but the force of the now — ready to solve problems, lead communities, grow businesses, and drive Edo's development. Governor Okpebholo's focus on economic revitalization, digital inclusion, educational reform, and job creation presents a powerful opportunity for Edo youths to take center stage in shaping the state's direction.
National Agenda
Aligning with the Federal Vision
This vision is in harmony with the broader national agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose Renewed Hope Agenda places youth development, entrepreneurship, innovation, and digital transformation at the core of Nigeria's growth plan.
Digital Economy Growth
Initiatives to expand Nigeria's digital infrastructure and
prepare youth for the tech-driven future.
MSME Funding
Youth-focused funding schemes to support micro, small, and
medium enterprises across Nigeria.
Together, these agendas reflect a shared understanding: the Nigerian dream cannot be realized without the energy, creativity, and commitment of our young people.
