Youth Parliament Leader Commends Outgoing UN-Habitat Chief

The Minority Leader of the Nigerian Youth Parliament, Hon. Osawe Uwagboe, has praised Dr. Michal Mlynár, the outgoing Deputy Executive Director of UN-Habitat, for his dedication to promoting youth inclusion and leadership in urban development.

He was a visionary diplomat who consistently recognised young people as partners in progress, leaders capable of shaping the cities and communities of the future, not just recipients of development outcomes.

During Dr. Mlynár's tenure, significant progress was made in promoting youth-led innovation, sustainable city dialogues, and participatory urban governance frameworks. Hon. Uwagboe noted that Dr. Mlynár

believed in the competence of young people and gave them a platform to lead meaningful change.
