UNIVERSITY DON CHARGES NIGERIAN YOUTHS TO BE INTERESTED IN POLITICS










Professor Lai Olurode of the Sociology department, University of Lagos (LASU), has urged students to gear up for leadership positions.

Professor Olurode made this know while speaking at the 2018 Annual Conference of Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, Lagos State Area Unit, at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) Akoka urging the students to show more interest in governance.

Olurode, who is also the Chairman of UNILAG Muslim Community, urged political parties to make the NotTooYoungToRun drive effective in the upcoming general election.



He said: “Governance has nothing to do with age, everybody should aspire to it. Take for example the huge amount of money APC placed on nomination forms, I expect the President (Muhammadu Buhari) to condemn this act as it is not a good omen for the country.”

The don lamented that majority of aspiring youths would not be able to afford the “huge amount of money” placed on nomination forms by leading political parties in Nigeria.
