The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase, has called on Nigerian youths to get involved in politics and governance at all levels.
The Deputy Speaker made the call while speaking during a courtesy call by the National Association of North Central students ((NANCS), at the National Assembly on Tuesday.
He charged the students to get involved in politics and never allow anybody to determine their direction.
According to him: “We are not going to remain in leadership position for the remaining part of our lives, one day, we hope to bequeath those positions for the younger generation. I charged you all to take your studies seriously and be good ambassadors of the north central and the country at large.
“The north central is lagging behind in so many ways, especially in area of peaceful coexistence. I charged you all to go with the sprit of one Nigeria devoid of cultural and religious differences.
