described the president elect, Muhammudu Buhari’s 100 days covenants has a
renewed confidence and hope for Nigeria’s greatness and boost the
respect that other nations especially within the Commonwealth have in
Nigeria.

The council, in a statement made
available to newsmen on Wednesday from London by Ahmed Adamu the Chairperson of
the council, maintained that the anti-corruption strategies and open
government system will institutionalize constitutional democracy in the
country.
“These are some of the strong values
of the Commonwealth” Adamu said.
He however pointed that Mr Buhari
should integrate youth participation in his government “having promised women
35% affirmative participation in governance. We looked anxiously to see what
percentage would be earmarked for the youths, but we were excluded” he maintained.
“Considering the youth population in
the country (more than 60% of the Nigerian population), and the role we played
in ensuring the peaceful and political triumph in this election, we believe
that youth should be actively engaged in governance.
“There is nothing for youths without
youths. We call on the president-elect to review his covenant to accommodate
youth participation in governance. A special covenant can be created to promise
at least 30% affirmative action for youth participation in governance at all
levels. This will help a long way in ensuring inclusive governance in the new
administration” the council chair said.
