Oladele John Nihi, the Vice President, West Africa, Pan-African Youth Union, while speaking during a panel discussion said the time has come for youths to stop sitting on the fence and take what belongs to them particularly “youth inclusion in Governance.”
He told the gathering about the Not too young to run bill that has removed the age embergo that had before now, hindered youths from contesting for elective positions.
Nihi, who is the Special Adviser on Youths and Students Affairs to Kogi State Governor, urged other African countries to emulate the not too young to run bill in Nigeria to give the young generation self of belonging in governance.
