The youth population embodies the future and the potential for progress in any nation. In line with promoting youth inclusion and participation in governance, we strongly advocate for the appointment of Mr. Yerima Shettima as a minister in the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Yerima Shettima is a remarkable and highly capable individual who has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the development and empowerment of Nigerian youth. As the President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, he has spearheaded numerous initiatives aimed at addressing the challenges faced by the youth and amplifying their voices in decision-making processes.
Under Shettima’s leadership, the A.Y.C.F has played a pivotal role in advocating for policies and programs that promote youth empowerment, employment, education, and entrepreneurship. He has been a strong advocate for ensuring that the voice of Nigerian youth is heard at all levels of government, enabling them to actively participate in shaping the nation’s future.
The appointment of Yerima Shettima as a minister would not only recognize and celebrate his exceptional leadership within the youth community but would also provide an opportunity to harness the enormous potential and fresh perspectives that young people bring to the table. His experience in mobilizing youth resources, fostering collaboration, and driving positive change has earned him the respect and admiration of his peers and stakeholders alike.
Moreover, Shettima’s appointment as a minister would serve as an inspiration to millions of Nigerian youths, proving that their voices and contributions are valued and essential in shaping policies that directly affect their lives. With his extensive knowledge of the challenges faced by the youth, coupled with his excellent managerial skills and visionary leadership, he possesses the perfect blend of attributes to effectively drive youth-focused initiatives in government.
We call upon the Federal Government of Nigeria to seize this opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to youth inclusion by appointing Yerima Shettima as a minister. This decision would symbolize a step forward towards a more inclusive and prosperous Nigeria, where the youth are not only acknowledged as vital stakeholders but actively engaged in decision-making processes.
The time for youth empowerment and inclusion in governance is now, and Yerima Shettima is the perfect candidate to lead the charge.
