Oluwaseun Ayodeji was also 2019 Commonwealth Young Person of the Year, will now be engaged in UN advocacy efforts which will offer an opportunity to highlight and complement her existing work.
Here’s what Jayantha Wickramanayake, the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth had to say:
As the UN marks its 75th anniversary during unprecedented times, the 2020 Young Leaders for the SDGs are a clear example of how young people are leading the way in shaping a more sustainable and inclusive future for all. Despite being disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, young people around the world continue to demonstrate immense resilience, resourcefulness and leadership in finding innovative solutions to recover better and achieve the SDGs.
These young leaders represent the diverse voices of young people from every region of the world, and are collectively responsible for activating millions of young people in support of the SDGs. This group will come together as a community to support efforts to engage young people in the realization of the SDGs both through strategic opportunities with the UN and through their existing initiatives, platforms and networks.
