A non-governmental organisation (NGO), the Youth Empowerment and Leadership Foundation (YELF), has urged President-elect Muhammadu Buhari to make youths relevant in his incoming administration.
In a statement by Chinedu Ugochukwu and Chukwuemeka, its President and Secretary, the group congratulated Buhari and Lagos State Governor-elect Akinwunmi Ambode on their victory.
YELF said: “We seek an all-inclusive government that comprises qualified young Nigerians, irrespective of their tribe and tongue.
“We urge you to make policies that will engage credible youths in the process of reforming Nigeria, while providing suitable environment for economic empowerment, through wealth creation and establishment of social securities.”
The group hoped Buhari’s administration would enforce the protection of rights ownership of intellectual properties and create opportunities for young Nigerians to work and earn a livelihood.
