Sectoral Debate and Youth Inclusion: Dogara to Engage with 161 Nigerian University Students in Abuja

In an unprecedented move aimed at broadening the understanding of Nigerian students and setting the records straight for them to understand the workings of the institution of the legislature and how it functions, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Yakubu Dogara, will meet with 161 students from all 141 public and private universities across the country to interact with them.

The event, which will be done over a two day period, is in fulfillment of the Speaker’s promise to promote youth inclusion in governance and encourage their active participation in democracy. The dialogue is also aimed at exposing stereotypes that have constantly pitched the people against the National Assembly due to general misconception and misunderstanding of the legislature as a result of prolonged military rule in Nigeria.
