Nigeria Youth Economic Forum (NIYEF) has applauded the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu for nominating young people to take prominent roles in the Presidential Inauguration Committee of the Transition Committee.
Gatekeepers News reports that the NIYEF commended the President-Elect in a statement signed by its Deputy Secretary, Danjuma Sada.
The Forum said the President-Elect had commenced the eve of his swearing-in with the right footing by nominating young people to serve in the Presidential Inauguration Committee, thus showing that his government would not abandon the country’s youth bulge.
Sada said, “The Nigeria Youth Economic Forum received with delight news report stating that not less than six young Nigerians had been nominated by the President-elect as members to serve in the Presidential Inauguration Committee.
“We applaud the President-elect for this. For us it heralds better days to come for the young Nigerians. It means that Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not abandon the young generations of our country. By this, we are confident of inclusion and being carried along in the process of governance.
“There is no gainsaying that the young people of this nation are the engine room that would deliver the successes Bola Tinubu has promised. They have the brains and the brawn. They have the passion and the grit. They have what it takes. And it gives us pleasure to see that the President-elect does not take this fact for granted.”
According to the Forum, Committee Members such as Stella Okotete, Makinde Araoye, Dr. Betta Edu, Samira Saddik, Abuh Andrew Abuh, Hajiya Hadiza Mohammed Kabir, and Donald Wokoma were young men and women who had devoted their resources, time, intellect and energy to the All Progressives Congress and its youth wing, and had earned their nominations through handwork and sheer commitment.
The Nigeria Youth Economic Forum further urged the appointees to be good ambassadors of young Nigerians who are looking up to them.
Sada said, “These young men and women who have been appointed must see themselves as ambassadors of the young people who from afar look up to them as models. They must see their presence in the rooms where decisions are made as an opportunity to prove that the Nigerian youth is more than capable of leadership.
“We commend them to be good representatives and to deliver on the huge expectations the country has of them.”
