As Nigeria celebrates its 59th Independence Anniversary, the Pan-African Youth Union (PYU) has challenged Nigerian Youths to get actively involved in politics to take over the running of the nation.

Nihi said that at 59, Nigeria should no longer be considered a developing nation but a developed nation, charging the older generations to begin to gradually yield leadership space to the younger generation.

He also charged Nigerian youths to be more active in governance and nation building, emphasizing that the youths must be actively involved in getting Nigeria to the desired height.

“As the country clocks 59, the time to bequeath leadership to the youths is now. The set of political elites currently running the affairs of the nation need to give the youths the chance to contribute their quota to nation building” Nihi said.

He charged Nigerian youths to gain leadership independence is now, and the hope of Nigeria succeeding rest on the shoulders of every youths in the country.

Nihi appealed to President Buhari to reassure Nigerian youths by appointing more youth to run affairs in his administration.

“For us not to let the unborn generations down, I wish to encourage Nigerian youths to be bold enough, and be actively involved in governance.
