President Bola Tinubu has been applauded over the inclusion of youths, people-oriented policies, widespread infrastructural development, and merit-based appointments in the governance of the country.

These assertions were made known by the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD/CEO) of Somi Solar and Electricals Limited, Samson Okpe, in a congratulatory message to Amb. Solomon Adodo on his recent and meritorious appointment as Board Member of the North Central Development Commission by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Amb. Solomon Adodo, a one-time President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), has been a vibrant grassroots mobiliser and an avid commentator on national discourse. His non-violent approach to policy reforms and his ability to mobilise Nigerian youths in promoting government policies even at the expense of his comfort is legendary.

Okpe noted that with this appointment, President Tinubu has once again shown that his government is an inclusive one and that he has the interest of Nigerian youths at heart.

He noted: “It is safe to say that this is a youth-oriented administration and indeed the future of Nigerian youths is assured. Under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, youths are no longer the leaders of tomorrow; they are leading presently and are strategically represented in ministries, departments, parastatals, and commissions.

“With the appointment of Adodo, Mr. President has ended the age-long policy of recycling the old generation into leadership positions.

“In recognizing the tireless efforts of Amb. Adodo in the civil society space, his obsession with the empowerment of Nigerian youths, and the promotion of good governance through policy reforms and strategic interventions, Mr. President has made a bold statement that sacrifice, patriotism, and dedication will never go unrewarded.”

Okpe concluded by calling on all Nigerian youths to continue to partner and collaborate with the present administration, which has shown a sincere commitment to youth empowerment, and to shun the antics of opposition politicians desperate for power using blackmail as their weapon of choice.
