As the youths globally celebrate International Youth Day, the honourable member representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju State Constituency, Hon. Dele Adeola has called for the inclusion of youths in all forms of governance to drive innovative and sustainable economic development.
Adeola in a statement sent to ODUDUWA NEWS today, said youths cannot be left out in national decision-making as they possess requisite innovative ideas in today’s digitalized world.
He commended Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde for giving the youths chance to operate in his administration and implored him to continue to engage them in the quest to move Oyo State to the Promised Land.
He stated further that global leaders have understood the fact that injection of fresh ideas and the need to embrace innovations are important factor that cannot be overlooked in policy-making and It will be a disservice to Nigeria if the youth inclusion cannot be embraced.
” The biggest asset of any nation is the human resource and the problem of the country needs technological solution and innovative ideas.
“The youths have a better perspective of the problems that affect them as such they need to be integrated in policy planning, implementation and evaluation for the policy to be a success,” Adeola concluded.
