Empowering Youths • Promoting Peace • Building the Nation

The Coalition of Northern Youth Forum of Nigeria (CNYFN) was conceived out of a compelling need to create a unified, credible, and central coordinating platform for the numerous Northern youth organisations operating across Nigeria.

Prior to its formation, Northern Nigeria had witnessed the emergence of several vibrant youth groups, each pursuing noble objectives but largely operating independently.
