Legal practitioner and youth development advocate Habeeb Whyte has urged President Bola Tinubu to establish a 90-day government response mechanism and a transparent accountability framework to ensure that recommendations from the 2026 National Youth Confab translate into concrete policies and programmes.

Whyte, who is the Subhead of the Confab’s Media and Publicity Committee, made the call on Saturday while delivering a policy implementation masterclass to about 360 delegates drawn from across the country.

In his presentation titled “From Recommendation to Delivery: The Policy, Budget, Legal and Partnership Routes — Who Decides and When in the Budget Cycle?”, he warned that the conference risked becoming another national talk shop if its resolutions were not backed by clear implementation plans, funding arrangements and measurable targets.

He urged the Federal Government to introduce a 90-day response mechanism requiring ministries, departments and agencies to review the recommendations and indicate which could be implemented immediately, which required further consideration, and those requiring legislative intervention.

“A recommendation without an institutional owner is merely an aspiration. A policy without a funding pathway is an unfulfilled promise. And a budget without effective execution cannot deliver the transformation Nigerians expect,” he said.

Whyte also proposed a public digital dashboard through which young Nigerians could track the implementation of adopted recommendations, including the institutions responsible, timelines, financial commitments, progress reports and measurable outcomes.
