Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, has called for the appointment of young Nigerians as Ministers of State from 2019.

He also noted that passage of the age reduction law, popularly known as NotTooYoungToRun, will not automatically pave way for young people to be elected into elective offices in Nigeria.

Delivering a keynote address at a conference organized by the NotTooYoungToRun movement in Abuja on Thursday, Dogara, maintained that only by removing economic barriers that young people would be empowered enough to run for elective offices.

Dogara stressed that power was never given freely in any society and charged the youths to brace themselves to wrestle power through participation in politics.
