*Unveils plans to activate 100 university campuses nationwide
The Future Is Now (FiN) Movement has appointed Hon. Henry Shield as its Director-General following a national stakeholders’ meeting attended by State Coordinators from across the country.The appointment, which emerged as one of the key outcomes of the meeting held in Abuja on Monday, received unanimous endorsement from stakeholders and marks what the movement described as another milestone in its development.
Since its formal unveiling on October 1, 2025, during activities marking Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, the non-partisan youth-focused movement has been expanding its structures nationwide to promote youth participation in governance, leadership and nation-building.According to the movement, FiN was established to mobilise, mentor and equip young Nigerians for active involvement in governance and public leadership, while bridging the gap between young people and decision-making institutions.
The organisation said it has recorded significant growth since its launch, including the establishment of governance structures and state coordinators across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, deployment of its digital platform, and the registration of more than one million young Nigerians.Other achievements highlighted by the movement include the formation of volunteer and ambassador networks nationwide, the development of a leadership and civic engagement framework, and the launch of the FiN Campus Activation Initiative.
