The House of Representatives has urged Nigerian youths to take an active role in shaping the country’s democratic future by participating fully in the 2027 general elections.
The lawmakers said the future of Nigeria’s democracy depends largely on the choices, conduct and engagement of young people, who constitute the largest voting bloc in the country.
The call was made on Thursday during the Youth Town Hall organised as part of the 2026 National Assembly Open Week in Abuja.
The event brought together lawmakers, government officials, development partners, youth leaders and civil society organisations to discuss ways of strengthening youth participation in governance.
