As Nigeria joins other nations of the world to commemorate 'World Youth Day,' the Labour Party (LP) has challenged Nigerian youths to gear up
As Nigeria joins other nations of the world to commemorate ' World Youth Day ,' the Labour Party has challenged Nigerian youths to gear up to take leadership roles in Nigeria and beyond.
He added, “By and large, it could only be the Labour Party that can achieve this, and we are not resting on our oars. But I still challenge Nigerian youths not to resort to being used as instruments of violence and destruction but viable tools for good governance.” “We know that Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe started as a youth, General Gowon also ruled this country as a youth, and General Muhammadu Buhari was also at the age of 30 when he ascended to leadership,” he said.
He said that the 2024 International Youth Day, which has the theme ‘Harnessing the Energy of the Youths for National Economic Development,’ is apt as the energy in youths around the world is what drives national economies. He said, “What they need is the opportunity, and I can tell you for free that they did not fail with the little opportunities given to them. What they need are opportunities to showcase what they have and exhibit their potential. And I think it is time for such, and I can say enough of using the youths for political thuggery.”Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
