Deji Adeyanju, a public affairs analyst, has called on President Bola Tinubu to appoint nine young Nigerians as ministers in his cabinet. Adeyanju emphasized that these appointments should be given to individuals under the age of 40, suggesting that appointing former governors as ministers would be a waste of ministerial slots.
In a tweet, the socio-political activist urged President Tinubu not to assign young people to insignificant positions but to give them meaningful roles in his government. Adeyanju further expressed that the appointments should prioritize individuals from the younger generation rather than individuals like himself who are older.
The statement from Deji Adeyanju reflects his belief that the inclusion of young Nigerians in leadership positions is essential for effective governance and the progress of the nation. He advocates for giving opportunities to younger individuals who can bring fresh perspectives and energy to the government.
