Erstwhile Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, has urged Nigerian youth to set aside their individual agonies and unite to take active part in politics.
He gave the advice on Monday in Kaduna while speaking as chairman at a public lecture titled ‘The political and social economic consequences of border porosity in Northern Nigeria.’
Prof Jega who agreed that the youth had personal challenges and agonies, added that it would not be in their interests and that of Nigeria if they stayed aloof while the country was not being run properly.
Meanwhile, the lecture was organised by the Coalition of Northern Groups (North West wing) in honour of late Dan Masani Kano, Alhaji Maitama Sule.
