Briefing newsmen in Abuja yesterday, the lawmaker said though youths’ representation in both the federal and state assemblies was encouraging, more young Nigerians should seek political offices.
“In the House of Representatives, there are 43 members who are under 40 years. And we have a president who is interested in youths,” he said.
He also assured that the National Youth Development Commission Bill that was rejected in the 9th Assembly would be reconsidered.
