The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYC), Osun State chapter has tasked Governor Ademola Adeleke to ensure 40 per cent representation of youths in his cabinet appointments.
The council added that among the 40 percent, the female gender should also be considered.
Addressing newsmen on Friday in Osogbo, the newly elected chairman of the council, Comrade Adetunji Ajala pleaded that youths with capacity should be given the opportunity to serve the state in several capacities.
He said: “I plead with Governor Ademola Adeleke to optimise the youthful potential in the state by considering a good proportion of the youth for appointments at due time. He should consider 40 percent of youths as they are filled with ideas and exposed to global best practices of doing things.
“Equally, the state house assembly has a good proportion of youths elected and at that, intelligent, persons with capacity and people of track record should be elected to lead the state house of assembly”.
Ajala warned that some fictitious persons who are parading themselves as caretaker committee of the state National Youth Council should stop impersonation; else they will be dealt with by law”.
