The webinar focused on the role of the judiciary in promoting good governance and the rule of law. The webinar was attended by various stakeholders, including lawyers, judges, academics, and civil society organizations. Daudu, in his presentation, highlighted the lack of political participation and representation for Nigerian youths in the political process.
This is evident in the effective implementation of the local government councils in Nigeria.
However, it is important to recognize that the youth are not just idle hands. They are a resource, a potential pool of talent and energy that can be harnessed for the benefit of the nation. The government must invest in their development, not just in terms of education and training, but also in terms of creating opportunities for them to participate in the economy and contribute to society.
This statement highlights the critical role of youth development in Nigeria’s future. It underscores the importance of empowering young people to become active and engaged citizens, contributing to the nation’s progress. The summary also mentions that young people are facing challenges in accessing resources and opportunities. This is a significant issue that needs to be addressed.
