The Osun East All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate, Engineer Israel Ajibola Famurewa has stressed the need to include youths in nation building and governance.
Famurewa stated this while playing host to Osun youth group, under the aegis of the Coalition of Past Ifeland Statesmen (CPIS), led by Musefiu Kolawole Afolabi.
He said the present administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at federal and state levels have consistently displayed very serious sense of responsibility for youth inclusion in governance, noting that more youths would be involved in governance.
He recapped his petition at the floor of the House against National Examination Council (NECO) that withheld the results for a private school in Osun and had the results released after his intervention, saying that if given the support, he will sponsor and co-sponsor youth friendly bills and other bills that will favour the strata of the society.
The youths visit was to press home their demand for more efforts by stakeholders at increasing their involvement in governance.
However, the group lamented that Nigerian youths are still under fixed in the scheme of things in the country and pressed for the need of every stakeholder to do more for youths, while bemoaning the ugly scenario that ended the #EndSARS movement of the youths in October 2020 and described it as barbaric.
The group however, commended Osun State Governor Gboyega Oyetola whose administration ensured there was no causality.
