Commenting on the purpose of the event and post event feedback as organizers, Founder of Apex Multimedia and Former National Youth Ambassador Alusine Lulu Bangura said “they feel fulfilled as organizers to partner with Under-30 CEOs Africa to host the event which has been organized in Freetown only in Makeni as the first-ever International Youth Day Celebration with the goal to increase inclusivity of youth across the country.
“The event is very timely and worthwhile according to responses from the delegates, panelists and other special guests that graced the celebration which we had to postponed to be hold on Wednesday, 31st August, 2022 instead of August 12 the actual date set aside by UNDP to commemorate youth across the world”, he disclosed saying a citizens protest championed by youth was the main reason for postponing the event but expressed over the successfulness of the event and assured to collaborate in the future with more partners to celebrate the IYD in a larger scale.
