Youth President, Solomon Adebosin addressing the Executive Committee

 UNI-Africa has been challenged to ensure that more young workers are included in all activities.

The Regional Executive Committee that met in Dakar, Senegal from 10 – 11 July heard that the youth have the potential to change the world.

In his report to the Executive, UNI-Africa Youth President Solomon Adebosin from Nigeria said there are still more young workers in employment who need a trade union.

He urged UNI-Africa to include the youth in the project "UNI-Africa facing up to its future" as well in succession plans at regional level.

"A good place to start might be to ensure that delegates to the Conference in Nairobi are 40 per cent youth with equal opportunities for both genders," the youth president said.
