The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari and the 36 states governors to appoint more young people into positions of power with a view to exposing them to the inner workings of government.

It argued that doing so would prepare the youths to provide, in the future, effective political leadership at all levels of governance.

Speaking at the National Muslim and Christian Youth Summit in Abuja yesterday, CAN President, Revd Samson Ayokunle, lamented that no significant effort is been made to create for the youths; the reality that the country’s today and future belong to them.

Ayokunle, who was represented by Evang. Samuel Kwamkur, CAN’s Director of Legal and Public Affairs, said: “May I also use this opportunity to call on those in power to use their good offices and influence to bring Youth into the circle of government not as a mean of empowerment them only but as a way of preparing them for future independence and leadership.

“We cannot continue to say youth are leaders of tomorrow when there is no significant effort to expose them to true act of governance and practical leadership especially while we, the elders, are still around them.

“As Christians, we are looking forward to a nation where the youth will truly understand that today and the future belong to them.”

However, the CAN President urged the youths to shun restiveness and ensure peaceful coexistence across the nation.

He said, “We call on the Youth to shunt all form of violence and embrace peace

“It is our hope that this summit will not only be that of usual speech making but will go a long way in having the youth and facilitators brainstorming towards finding lasting and sustainable solution to the age long youth restiveness and poverty.

“Youth must refuse to be used for thuggery but governance and administration which shall stand the test of time,” he insisted.

Good one from CAN, at least for the first time.

However, it is obvious buhari is already drifting in that direction through the appointment of the present communication minister. Though he didn't get it perfectly with that of sport ministry.

These two ministries should be headed by vibrant youths at par with the high dynamics required in those fields of administration.

Other ministries require experience, not just brain with supersonic processing speed.

Pls, this is my opinion o, b4 una go come kill me with needless mentions.

Meanwhile, a govt appointed a 27 yr old, their people rejected it, so what are we saying?

Where are the young ones??

This present Day Nigeria is the best we can ever get.

Any deliberate attempt at making things work will come with great resistance from people milking us dry.

Once again Nigeria can never be better

Sad

Not in This country!

YOUTHS THAT ARE BUSY FIGHTING EACH OTHER

Those people sabi zero their minds for dis kain matters ehn..

Sounds good anyway

Well they are putting youths In to power, dnt your update yourselves..from federal to states.

When Seyi Makinde appointed a 27 year old as commisioner, protests flew in.
Youths are the leaders of tomorrow na scam.

Good to see them own up.

Now they are begging the government to put youths in positions... When these leaders do that now, the masses would still carry placard protesting that this youth is too young..
Wasteful Nigeria

I doubt if the elders will hear

Drop shipping which basically involves selling products directly from manufacturers / wholesalers without you handling any inventories and physical goods is known to be a profitable business worldwide, and has made thousands of dollars from it

I started dropshipping 2 year ago and some of the challenges i have and some i had submounted would be stated in our whatsapp Class, but first. As a dropshipper u get product but fill your store with products from merchants on aliexpress.

I only select products that offer free shipping and use a special strategy to find hot in demand product within my niche ofcourse

I build my store using WordPress with upsell and downs ell this give me better advantages than my competitors. I integrate Paystack and PayPal as payment processor, This allows my buyers to pay for products on my store (prices are in USD ofcourse, NB. buyers address will be listed during placing of order) and then i contact the seller, pay for the good and provide the address of the client for shipping (i also give the merchant some instructions so that the client doesnt know am dropshipping it-coded things).

Some of the key point for MY business model are;
- i target/market or sell to people in the US, Canada, Australia (free shipping is quicker and much easier)
- I choose product using my special picking techniques
- I use PayPal and Paystack to receive payment

I hope this help.

Meet me inside whatsapp where I'll break it all down

In as much as we want young people in that position

Is not by young Ness is by willingness to work for your people

But since we have tasted the old men we should try the young

You mean the same lazy youths that are busy on Nairaland fighting tribal wars.

Buhari practice gerontogracy

Besides Governors Akeredolu of Ondo state and Makinde of Oyo are putting youths masisvely into power, go and do your researches.

Nigerians are confused, when you don't appoint youth they'all criticize you. But when you appoint youth, they'll start protesting.

#sayNotoXEnophobicAttack

let the president's come out on live tv (not social media) to condemn the attack.

the Nigeria youth are a disgrace to the nation,could u imagine the present governor of Oyo state appointed 17 year old for youth and sports in Ibadan.the youth in Ibadan protest calling on the governor to terminate the appointment that the boy is too young to rule.

Wish we can return back to the days when Can was CAN........ When Nlc was NLC

StrikeBack:

Where are the young ones??

This present Day Nigeria is the best we can ever get.

Any deliberate attempt at making things work will come with great resistance from people milking us dry.

Once again Nigeria can never be better
