Policies are important, not only because it drives economic growth and development but also because it affects our daily lives regardless of demographics. Quality basic education for every child, regardless of socioeconomic status and free healthcare services to the elderly are examples of good policies that can help to improve our lives significantly.

While legislations are enacted by lawmakers and elected public officials, the policymaking process, especially in a democracy, requires active participation of the young and old. Therefore, the average individual can influence public policy, by voting for political parties or candidates that best represents their own values and interests.
News flash: You can only vote in Nigeria if you have a Permanent Voters’ Card aka PVC.

Essentially, willful political disenfranchisement is giving others the power to control your life and future. We cannot afford to do that to ourselves. Youth participation in elections ensures that we have a say in who represents us and our interests. Nigeria has a teeming youth population and this is the right time to seize the opportunity to make our country better.

Think about favorable economic policies, agriculture, education, healthcare, sports development, research and development, etc., and how our nation can benefit tremendously if you participate in choosing a representative who shares the same intent and has a proven track record of achievement in public administration.

Like the popular saying goes: “Love without action is meaningless and action without love is irrelevant”. Let’s show Nigeria we love her by doing right by her, REGISTER FOR YOUR PVC!
