He tasked the over 300 youths who were drawn from different parts of the state to engage in activities

that will make them enjoy the dividends of democracy, saying enjoying such dividends is often much

anticipated after elections, but of which cannot be actualised in an atmosphere of chaos, roncour and

fighting.

“There is no doubt that this year’s elections, so far, have generated a lot of public attention, particularly

from Nigerian youths who are remarkably increasing their political participation in our collective struggle

for good governance, unlike other times in the past,” he said.The guest lecturer, Prof. Anthony Igyuve of

Mass Communication Department, Nasarawa State University Keffi, said the youths should be the ambassadors of peace in their various communities, and that now that elections have come and gone, the youths should support those elected to deliver on their promises made during the campaigns.

He warned the youths against fake news, hate speech and other provocative social media posts that could generate disaffection among the people.
