A network of young business leaders and aspiring entrepreneurs in Africa, Under 40 CEOs, has tasked Nigerian youths to play a more active role in politics and governance in order to address the country’s development challenges.
Speaking recently at a forum organised by the group themed, Dinner with Needle Movers, Founder and Executive Director—Africa, Familusi Babajide, was quoted in a statement as saying, “By current estimates, up to 70 per cent of sub-Saharan Africa’s population is under the age of 30, representing about 806 million of the 1.151 billion people in this region. This demographic projection has significant implications for economic activity, public service provision, and state stability.
In his remark, the guest speaker at the event and oil business mogul, Tonye Cole, noted that the lack of visionary leadership and accountability remain the biggest challenges to development in Nigeria and, indeed, all of Africa.
