Dismantle Practices that Exclude Youths from Political Participation, Gbajabiamila Tells Govt via thisdaylive
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has said that relegating Nigerian youths to the background by governments is inimical to the national development of the country being the most critical segment of any society.
Gbajabiamila, while advocating a more comprehensive engagement of the Nigerian youth by the government at all levels, also called on the youths to show greater interest in government and governance. “This is an obvious imperative, more so in a country like ours with a massive and ever-growing youth bulge. Yet, often when I imagine what it must feel like to be a young person coming of age in Nigeria today, I think about the challenges that limit promise. Our country will not reach its full potentials until governments at all levels learn to engage with the changing values, needs, and expectations of Nigeria’s youth.
In another webinar organised by the youth wing of the Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society as part of their programme for the International Youth Day, Gbajabiamila charged Nigerian youths to get more involved in politics.
