Atiku sets pace in youth inclusion

The PDP presidential flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, has sent a strong message regrding his agenda for the youth should he mount the saddle of power come 2019.

This he has demonstrated by appointing 35 year old Abdullahi Hussaini Maibasira as the PDP presidential campaign council Finance Director. This makes him the youngest member of the PDP National Working Committee, although he has served as the penultimate National Youth Leader of the party.

MaiBasira possesses two Masters degrees in Agricultural Economics and the other, in Strategic and Security Studies from the Nigeria Defense Academy, Kaduna. An old boy of Kings College, Lagos, MaiBasira has been tutored in Oxford, Harvard, Westminster as well as the Lagos Business School.

It would be recalled that Atiku had promised an accelerated youth and women inclusion agenda in his government when elected . This latest action is seen as being in consonance with that commitment as evidenced by the appointment of other vibrant young minds like  Hon Ude Okoye; Current National Youth leader of the party to serve as Director of youth mobilization for the campaign and Segun Showunmi who served as Atiku's Spokesman.
This is highly commendable and a breath of fresh air for the youth!
