“We haven’t found much of our own representation in the newly constituted Federal Executive Council,” Abubakar said.

He said that the meeting was to share ideas on how they could come out with economic policies to better the lives of Nigerian youths.

According to him, there was need for economic blueprint that will discourage youths from working abroad.

“Basically what was discussed was to show appreciation to our youth support group over the party’s victory in the last general elections.

“To see how youths can steer the affairs of the country and how policies are being made to protect the interest of Nigerian youths,” the youth leader said.
