The Nigerian Youth Movement (NYM) was founded in 1936. It was a political organization that emerged during the colonial period in Nigeria, with the aim of advocating for the interests of the youth and promoting nationalist ideals. The movement played a significant role in the political landscape of Nigeria in the pre-independence era. The organization operated at a time when various groups were actively engaged in discussions about the future political structure of Nigeria. The NYM's formation and activities reflected the growing awareness and political consciousness among the youth in Nigeria during that period.
