Youths and National Development in Nigeria
The role of youths in national development in Nigeria cannot be over emphasis; this is not unconnected with the fact that the wheel of development of any country squarely rest on the shoulder of how productivity and creativity the youthful populations are. The youth are the engine of growth and development since they provide the labour force for production of goods and service. They are critical masses of people whose action and inaction can develop or destroy the hegemonies of their society. This paper argues that a country that prepare her youth for the sake of future aspiration will not only secure her future development but will prepare her next set of leaders with the challenges of national reconciliation and development. With heavy reliance on secondary data derived from library search, archival records and internet search, this paper will present illuminating discourse on the role of youth in national development in Nigeria.
