My name is
Nebo Obinna Collins the Enugu state coordinator Youth Alliance on Constitution
Review and Electoral Reforms. (YACORE).
Over the
years, there have been several meetings, summits, conferences, fora and
symposiums addressing the issue of youth inclusiveness in policy making and
decision taking at all levels of government. It is no longer news that the
youth made up the 60% of the Nigeria population, but at the same time the most
politically and economically marginalized group in the Nigeria population.
I am so
delighted this day that the Nigerian youth serving in political parties and
youth CSOs were able to bring themselves together for over 24 months with the
support of the UNDP/DGD engaged debates, roundtables and conferences all in a
bid to improve the quality of youth participation in electoral politics in the
build up to the 2015 general elections and beyond.
I am also
happy that the Nigeria Youth Agenda on Political Participation captured the
views and aspirations of young people irrespective of political, religious,
ethnic and sectional interests. This national document is a welcome development
for building the future of the Nigerian youth towards positive political
participation.
I thank God
that this is happening in my time, now I have a story to tell the younger
generation coming after us. We the young people of Enugu state and the
south-eastern Nigeria have accepted to join this moving train for the good of
our people and for the good of our nation.
I welcome
you all to Enugu (the coal city state).
Enjoy your
stay for this programme and enjoy the beautiful city we’ve got.
