Let Youths Be The Centrepiece Of Govt Policies, NYCN Urges Lawmakers

The National Youth Council of Nigeria has urged lawmakers to ensure that government policies reflect the aspirations of youths.

President of NYCN, Solomon Adodo, made the appeal when he led the NYCN delegation to the 2021 National Legislative Conference Themed: Constituency Projects & National Development, on Monday.

The conference, which held its fourth edition, was organized by the National Orientation Agency (NOA) in collaboration with Hallowmace Foundation Africa.

The conference afforded lawmakers and others to speak on matters “relating to governance, legislative practices and procedures.”

The NYCN said it will not relent until the desired outcome is realized in the country.

“We are working assiduously to bring the dividends of good governance closer to the people and in all the youth Constituency has to be the centerpiece of any policies to be formulated.

“We shall succeed together!,” Adodo said in a statement sent to THE WHISTLER.

On his part, the Director General, NOA, Garba Abari admitted “that the execution of the Constituency Projects have sometimes raised fundamental questions on the efficacy of government’s service delivery.”

Part of those who attended the event are the Hon. Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje, Fmr Member House of Reps; Solomon Adodo, President NYCN; Sen. Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, Deputy Whip, Nigerian Senate; Rt. Hon.
