From Olanrewaju Lawal Birnin Kebbi
The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), has appealed to the Federal, State and Local Governments to include Youths in the processes of governance in Nigeria.
Engineer Ahmed Rufai Abubakar Kahalifa made the appeal in Birnin Kebbi at Waziri Umaru Federal Polytechnic convocation ground when they hosted youth from the 21 local governments in Kebbi state to mark 60 years of the existence of the Council in the country.
According to him, “So far youth representation in the three tiers of government is encouraging but there is need to increase the number to accommodate many more because youth contributions in all sectors of the country are not quantifiable .
” We are fairly represented in the process of governance at all levels hence the reason we are requesting the government to add to our existing number in politics and act of governance for us to make a mark in development across the three tiers of government”.
While commending Kebbi Governor,Dr. Nasir Idris for appointed large number of Youths in his government, he described his government as a friendly to the youth ,and urged youth to consolidate on the gains made so far by supporting good government policies in the state.
