President of the Commonwealth Youth Council (CYC), Ahmed Adamu has once again called on President Muhammadu Buhari to engage more young people in his administration.
Adamu in his speech last week during the commemoration of Nigeria’s 55th Independence Anniversary at the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom stated that with the first batch of ministers sent to the senate for confirmation, the youth are yet to see one that represented them within the defined "youth age bracket”.

He said "we look to see a young person, but we have not seen any young person within the defined youth age bracket. Therefore, we look forward to the second batch".
Adamu also said that access to quality education should not be an option but a necessity adding that lack of it was the root cause of Boko Haram, cultism and kidnapping in the country.
He therefore called on government to provide equal access to quality education by making it its priority, stating that the provision of quality education will by extension be tackling millions of issues.

"Every religion takes education its number one priority, and it is through education that nations prosper. Nigerian educational institutions are not up to the standards because they are not the first and only option. Because, the rich people and people in government always have option of sending their children abroad to acquire quality education, they will always do that, but if they don't have that option, everybody will feel responsible and contribute toward making our educational institutions better," he said.
