The Ifaki Youth Empowerment Fund (IYEFUND) has sent a goodwill message to all youths in Ifaki-Ekiti in celebration of the 2025 International Youth Day, reaffirming its commitment to supporting young people as agents of positive change.

In a statement signed by its Board of Trustees Chairman, Olusesan Obe, the organisation described the day as an opportunity to recognise the potential of young people as vital partners in building a just, peaceful, and sustainable society.

The 2025 theme, “Local Youth Action for the SDGs and Beyond,” highlights the role of young people in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals at the community level. IYEFUND urged all stakeholders to work together to support youth-led solutions and celebrate the creativity, leadership, and energy of the younger generation.

To mark the occasion, IYEFUND announced that this year’s edition of its annual football tournament will be known as the “IYEFUND YOUNITY Cup 2025”—a name blending “Youths” and “Unity” to symbolise the peace and cohesion fostered by Ifaki youths over the years. The inter-quarter football fiesta will run from 22 August to 6 September 2025 at the Football Arena of Ekiti State University Satellite campus.

According to the statement, the competition is dedicated to honouring the community’s youths for their meaningful and peaceful contributions to Ifaki’s growth.

IYEFUND pledged continued engagement with young people, stressing that they remain one of Ifaki-Ekiti’s greatest assets. “Your community needs your leadership, and we are committed to partnering with you to create a better future.”

The organisation concluded by wishing all youths in Ifaki-Ekiti a happy International Youth Day and encouraging them to let their dreams and aspirations inspire positive change.
