Adamawa Youths Call for Inclusion in State Government: Governor Urged to Prioritize Youth Representation

In a recent press conference held by Adamawa youths, representatives from various political parties came together to call for increased representation and involvement in the state’s governance. While congratulating the winners of the 2023 general elections, the focus was primarily on Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri and the need for meaningful engagement with the state’s young population. The youths expressed concern over the exclusion of young voices in decision-making processes and emphasized the vital role the youth can play in the development and progress of the state.

Recognitions and Congratulations

The press conference began with congratulatory messages to the winners of the 2023 general elections in Adamawa state. Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri and his Deputy Prof. Kaletapwa George Farauta, along with all National and State Assembly Members from different political parties, were acknowledged for their victory. The participants also recognized the efforts of aspirants and candidates who ran for office, regardless of their election outcomes, encouraging them to continue participating in the electoral process.

The Role of Youths and Governor Ahmadu Fintiri

The essence of the press conference was to emphasize the importance of the youth’s involvement in the state’s governance and policy-making. The gathering was not aligned with any particular political party but rather aimed at holding leaders accountable, especially Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, to his promises of inclusivity and involvement of the youth in the government.

While commending the Governor for some positive actions in his second term, the youths expressed their concern over the recent list of commissioner-nominees submitted for screening and approval. They firmly believed that the state’s progress and prosperity rely heavily on the active participation of the youth in policy formulation and execution.

The Potential of Adamawa Youths

Adamawa State boasts one of the youngest populations in Nigeria, with over 60 per cent being youths. The participants stressed that harnessing the potential of this demographic is crucial for the state’s growth and development. However, they lamented the deliberate exclusion of the youth from government processes, despite playing a significant role in the Governor’s ascent to power.

Keeping Promises and Youth Representation

The press conference highlighted the importance of honouring promises made to the youth during political campaigns. Comparisons were drawn to other states that have successfully involved young people in decision-making roles, resulting in a more inclusive governance structure. The youths called on Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to recognize the intellectual and productive capabilities of the state’s young population and to provide them with opportunities to contribute positively to the development of Adamawa.

The Adamawa youths urged Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to reconsider the list of commissioner-nominees and prioritize youth representation in the state’s government. They emphasized that disengaging young people from political processes limits their ability to influence decisions that affect their lives and the broader society. By including the youth in policy-making and decision-making, the state can benefit from the diverse talents and energy of its young population, ultimately leading to a brighter future for Adamawa State and Nigeria as a whole.
