Speaker Abbas Holds Town Hall Meeting with Youth Groups, Organisations Wednesday

The Speaker of the House of Representatives,  Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, has scheduled a meeting with some segments of  Nigerian youth groups and organisations at a town hall on Wednesday at the National Assembly.

According to a statement issued on Sunday by the Spokesman of the House, Hon. Akin Rotimi Jr., “the town hall is in furtherance of the Legislative Agenda of the 10th House, which prioritises sustained youth engagement and legislative measures to promote youth political participation, representation, and inclusion in governance and decision-making.”

The statement indicate that the event is being organised “in conjunction with the YIAGA Africa and the Konrad Adenuer Stiftung (KAS), the town hall targets youth leaders and representatives from various youth organisations; students from tertiary institutions; young professionals and entrepreneurs; representatives from civil society organisations focused on youth development; members of the House Committees on Youth Affairs; and Youths in Parliament, among others.

Also, “It is to serve as a platform for direct dialogue, allowing young Nigerians to voice their concerns, share their ideas, and engage with legislative leaders on matters affecting their lives and futures. It will equally bridge the gap between policymakers and the younger generation, ensuring that the policies and laws enacted are inclusive, relevant, and effective in addressing the specific needs of the youth.”
