2024
For continued engagement of youths in the discussions on internet governance to secure its sustainability, this year the Nigeria Youth Internet Governance Forum (NYIGF) will be convened on the margin of the 2024 Nigeria Internet Governance Forum in line with the principles of the United Nations Secretariat of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF).
The overarching theme for the 2024 edition of NYIGF is:
“Navigating the Digital Sphere: Rights, Risk, and Resilience.”
Internet Governance Forum is a multistakeholder effort to illuminate issues and cultivate constructive discussions about the future of the Internet. The national Youth IGF initiative provides a domestic forum to engage young professionals of the digital sector, technologists, researchers, academics, activists and civil society, government representatives, and students. The forum aims to sustain a dialogue platform, create partnerships, and initiate policy proposals and reform. The participants include thought leaders from civil society, industry, academia, and government.
The NYIGF is a youth led initiative to facilitate a platform for increasing awareness of Internet governance issues amongst young people in Nigeria, and to bring them into the relevant discussion on a national, regional and global level. In line with the core IGF principles, it is open and inclusive of all Nigerian young people from all Internet stakeholder groups.
