From Yakubu Mustapha Minna

No fewer than 30 youth groups and student bodies have unanimously agreed to adopt the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate Umar Mohammed Bago for Saturday gubernatorial and state assembly elections in Niger state.
The endorsement was reached after the directorate of youth and students campaign council interacted with the APC Governorship candidate on his policy trust for the two groups in Minna.
Addressing the youths, the director of the Directorate, Comrade Bello Sherrif described the Bago’s manifestos as all inclusive.
Sherrif stated that the APC candidate is physically fit, competent, mentally sound, energetic, capable, dogged, credible and prepared for the job of governance.
The National President of the National Association of Niger State Students (NANISS), Khalid Bababubu said primary and secondary schools lack learning facilities for effective teaching in Niger state.
He further demanded for 50 percent inclusiveness in government, adding that pervasive youth restiveness and insecurity in the state was due to lack of job opportunities despite the available human and natural resources.
In his remarks, the gubernatorial candidate of the APC, Umar Mohammed Bago said youths and women would have 60 percent take in his administration.
He said his administration would institute free education to increase school enrollment in the state while tasking private sector in the state to give back to the society through corporate social responsibility.
