The United Nations Development Programme and Youth Initiative for Advocacy, Growth and Advancement Africa, yesterday, sealed a partnership for a project that seeks to mobilise not less than 60 per cent of eligible young voters towards the 2023 general elections.
According to him, this translates to about 20 million potential new voters from 2019 to 2023, the election year. His words: “This increase in the level of first-time voters provides an opportunity for young people to determine the next set of leaders for the country through their participation in active citizenship.
“This missed opportunity for young people to shape governance in Nigeria can be reversed with a political mobilisation strategy premised on innovation, inclusion, collaboration, consistency and context-specific interventions,” he added. “Our desire is not just to push for huge number of young people to come out and vote, but to also vote for issues and candidates that will deliver the good governance they yearn for.”
