April Polls: The burdens on Nigerian Youth

April Polls: The burdens on Nigerian Youth

For the first time in the history of Nigeria, the patriotism of the youths is going to be generally tasted in the open. This is because the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is going to repose the responsibility of conducting the forthcoming general polls on their shoulders. Current members of the Nigerian Youth Service Corps (NYSC) are presently in the limelight. They conducted the successful voters’ registration exercise. They are to be major stakeholders in the April 2nd, 9th and 16th elections into various political offices.

While it calls for rejoice that the youths who constitute the larger percentage of the nation’s population are going to take their destiny in their hands by ensuring that credible leaders are elected into offices this time around, it calls for caution and a lot of orientation to achieve this laudable target.
