The Director General and Chief Executive Officer of the National Institute for Sports, Comrade Philip Shaibu, on Monday, 26th October 2026, received a courtesy call from the Seyi Tinubu Youth Mandate Movement in his office in Abuja.
The delegation was led by Mr. Ajiboye Joseph, who introduced the movement and explained its mission to mobilise young Nigerians in support of youth inclusion, national development, and continuity in governance.
While receiving the group, Shaibu commended the movement for its dedication and grassroots efforts in engaging youths across the country.
He described the youths as a vital force in shaping the future of Nigeria and sustaining democratic governance.
Shaibu also recalled that he led protests during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to prevent a breakdown in the nation’s education system.
He said his long history of youth advocacy was driven by a desire to protect the future of young Nigerians.
He further noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has worked to reset the foundation of Nigeria.
According to him, after eight years of President Tinubu, the youths will be prepared to take over because the President is building a strong foundation for them.
Shaibu applauded the movement for its efforts to ensure the re-election of President Tinubu in next year’s general elections.
He encouraged the members to remain united, disciplined, and focused in their mobilisation drive.
Earlier, Ajiboye Joseph thanked the Director General for the warm reception and assured him that the movement would continue to work tirelessly to promote youth engagement and support the administration of President Tinubu.
