Youth in Policy-Making: A New Dawn in Nigeria's Leadership Landscape. By Sanni Inuwa Baba

-

In the shifting landscape of global politics, there is a noteworthy transformation taking place in Nigeria - a change that has ignited both concern and applause. The winds of change blow through the corridors of power, ushering in a new era where youth are given a seat at the policy-making table. This monumental shift, orchestrated by President Tinubu, is nothing short of history in the making. Major positions, once considered impervious to youthful influence, have been handed over on a platter of gold to the very individuals who will shape the future.

While some may raise eyebrows, the majority applaud President Tinubu for this courageous leap of faith. It's a testament to his vision for a Nigeria where the potential of its youth is harnessed for the betterment of all.

Notable figures have emerged to lead the charge into this promising future. At the helm of NASENI, a crucial institution, stands the 32-year-old tech virtuoso, Mr. Khalil Suleman Halilu. From his very first day in office, he declared his commitment to propelling Nigeria forward through the domestication of cutting-edge technologies. His mission aligns perfectly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's eight-point economic priorities.

Even in the esteemed halls of Aso Rock, the presidency has recognized the potential of youth. Sadiq Sale Jambo has been named the Special Assistant to the President on Economic Matters, and Musaddiq Mustapha takes on the role of Personal Assistant on sub-national Infrastructure. These appointments signify a pivotal moment in the country's leadership.

Perhaps one of the most inspiring appointments is that of 37-year-old Jamila Bio Ibrahim, who now heads the Ministry of Youth. Her role holds the promise of empowering her peers to reach new heights and, in the process, reshape the nation's future.

Undoubtedly, the weight of expectations looms large. Can these young leaders deliver on the trust bestowed upon them? The challenges they face will be immense, but it is in overcoming these hurdles that they will truly make their mark. Their journey is a beacon of hope, an inspiration for countless other young individuals who aspire to influence policy and change the trajectory of their nation.

As the world watches, Nigeria's youth are stepping onto a stage set for them by history. The path they tread will not only determine the nation's future but also inspire the generations that follow. In the face of doubts and skepticism, this is a moment of reckoning and an invitation for more eager, capable youth to join the ranks of policy-makers. It's a turning point that echoes the timeless words: "The youth are the hope of our future."
