Abuja - The National Youth Wing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday set up a committee that would liaise
with the party’s leadership in all youth matters.
Inaugurating the committee in Abuja, National Youth Leader of the party, Dasuki Jalo, said the youth wing would evolve
better and more inclusive governance where every youth would be a proud and committed stakeholder.

Jalo explained that the composition of the 13-member committee was seven leaders and a member each from the six
geopolitical zones.

The committee is expected to negotiate on all matters on behalf of the youth of the party and report from time to time,
their activities to Jalo in order to effectively champion the interest of the youths.
Jalo charged the committee to be focused as they would be confronted with complex and emotive issues while strong views
would be expressed by many people.

"The committee, therefore, will engage in intense introspection about the challenges confronting our youth and to chart
the best and most acceptable way for the resolution of such challenges in the overall collective interest of all Nigerian
youths.

"I urge the members of the committee to work extra hard to ensure that their deliberations are completed well ahead of
the forthcoming handover of power to the President-elect," he said.

Responding, chairman of the committee, Sobande Sesan, pledged that the members ''will be sincere with genuine
commitment of the leadership of APC.
"We'll pursue the course of action that will involve all segments of Nigerian youths and build the Nigerian project of
Muhammadu Buhari, and bring the change that we all want to achieve.

"We promised to effectively discharge our responsibilities as the youth wing of the governing party and there is a need for
us to reposition ourselves for the overall benefit of all Nigerians," he said.

Nice one APC. The articulated gov.

BTW Jalo is in his 50s

Excellent! This is the way to go, loading with the youths to understand why the youths were aggrieved with the PDP in the first place. Your youth programmes will never get to youths if it's championed by 70yr olds with members in theirs 60s who double as youth leaders in PDP. It's because of them that all youth empowerment programmes never get accessed by the youths, nice one APC
