The Presidential candidate of Mass Action Joint Alliance (MAJA) in 2019, Professor Mercy Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies, has lauded President Bola Ahmed for announcing during his October 1, 2024 broadcast that there will be a Youth National Conference!
She noted that the interest of the youths needed to be factored in national governance.
In a statement on Wednesday, she also opined that former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s 2014 National Confab Report would make a great blue print and reference point in the proposed national youth conference.
She stated that the report should be revisited and reviewed by Nigerian Youth so as not to start from the scratch or tabular-rasa during the National youth Confab.
She said the review will make the youth confab to start from known to the unknown, since such an invaluable document has already been in public space.
Adesanya-Davies, also a Professor of Applied Linguistics and the Country President of United Nations Positive Livelihood Award Centre (UN-POLAC), further called on the federal government, “To urgently make their promises good on the cryings of Nigerians on the economic situation in the nation in general.”
Adesanya-Davies said: “On the presidential speech, of interest to me is the presidential innovation to immediately commence, a 30-day confab which will unite young people nationwide to collaboratively develop solutions to issues such as, nation-building education, employment, innovation, security, and social justice.”
“Please Mr. President, this conference needs not be another waste of national resources, a jamboree and assemblage of some incompetent youths who may not contribute meaningfully to national questions.”
She pleaded with Tinubu to make all his promises to Nigerians good while she celebrates Nigeria as motherland.
