The commonwealth Youth Council has
described the president elect,
Muhammudu Buhari’s 100 days
covenants has a renewed confidence
and hope for Nigeria’s greatness and
boost the respect that other nations
especially within the Commonwealth
have in Nigeria.
The council, in a statement made
available to newsmen on Wednesday
from London by Ahmed Adamu the
Chairperson of the council, maintained
that the anti-corruption strategies and
open government system will
institutionalize constitutional democracy
in the country.
“These are some of the strong values of
the Commonwealth” Adamu said.
He however pointed that Mr Buhari
should integrate youth participation in
his government “having promised
women 35% affirmative participation in
governance. We looked anxiously to see
what percentage would be earmarked
for the youths, but we were excluded”
he maintained.
“Considering the youth population in the
country (more than 60% of the Nigerian
population), and the role we played in
ensuring the peaceful and political
triumph in this election, we believe that
youth should be actively engaged in
governance.
“There is nothing for youths without
youths. We call on the president-elect to
review his covenant to accommodate
youth participation in governance. A
special covenant can be created to
promise at least 30% affirmative action
for youth participation in governance at
all levels. This will help a long way in
ensuring inclusive governance in the
new administration” the council chair
said.
