Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, says deliberate efforts must be made to prepare children and youth of Nigeria to become the desired leaders of tomorrow.
Gbajabiamila, made the remarks at the National Children’s Dialogue on Saturday in Abuja to mark the 2021 Universal Children’s Day.
He explained that this was the reason he led an amendment to the Electoral Bill, 2021 for the use of direct primaries by political parties as a method of choosing candidates for elective offices.
The Speaker, however, stated that such efforts must include involving them in governance and expanding the democratic space to accommodate many young people.
