Ekiti Youth Parliament Delegates Advocate AI Innovation and Action Against Cyberbullying at IYDC 2026
The Ekiti State Youth Parliament delegation made contributions on artificial intelligence, cyberbullying, social media and youth entrepreneurship at the 2026 International Youth Development Conference in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The conference focused on how young people can use AI, social media and tourism to create sustainable livelihoods and innovation. The delegation urged youths to reject online platforms that profit from harassment, particularly abuse targeted at women. The delegates also called for young Africans to become AI creators rather than only users. They proposed AI Youth Enterprise Hubs that would provide training, mentorship, innovation spaces, funding opportunities and access to markets. They further urged African governments to improve digital infrastructure and encouraged the private sector to support young innovators.
