Going by the 18years voting age and the definition of youth by The
Nigerian National Youth policy as comprising all young persons
between the ages 18 and 44 years
Republic of Nigeria, it means that out of the Two Hundred and
Fourteen million people in Nigeria, an estimated forty-seven percent
cannot vote, as they are underage. Another estimated average of
thirty percent (10% of 18-24 years and 20% of 24-44 years) or more
no are citizens of the Federal
of the remaining fifty-three percent are young men and women whho
are eligible to vote.
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with one of the largest
youth populations in the world. There are over 33 million youths in
Nigeria. An understanding of what we want and a firm belief in
someone whom we believe would get us what we want would not only
guarantee the person victory, but also put us on the track to birthing
the Nigeria of our dream.
