Nigerian Youths Should Participate More In Our Politics – Emma Ugwuerua

Enugu State Lawmaker, Dr. Emma Ugwuerua has come out to advocate for youths participation in Nigerian politics.

Dr. Ugwuerua, who represents Nsukka West State Constituency in Enugu State House of Assembly stated this at Ibagwa-Ani in Ovogovo Development Centre of Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State, recently revealed this during the inauguration of the United Ovogovo Youths Forum, weekend.

According to him, more youths participation in our politics will definitely improve development at all facets of human endeavour, and it will make Nigeria a better place for all.

He added that the functionality, growth and development of any community lie on the youths living in it.

His words, “Days were gone when people had misconception of politics, when they regarded it as a “dirty game”. Politics is not a dirty game, rather it is the leeway for promoting the good life of the people through effective and efficient engineering and re-engineering of their economic and social assets.”

“Some communities are ahead or better than others in development because their youths are actively involved in politics either at the local, state or national level. This is why it is necessary that our youths embrace political activities through active participation.”

“Today, there are evidences of democracy dividends everywhere in Enugu State and in the various communities. Our Governor, Rt. Hon. Dr. Ifeanyi Lawrence Ugwuanyi has demonstrated that good governance is the hallmark of democratic government. He has put smiles on the faces of the people of the state through provision of massive infrastructural facilities and human capacity building.”
