Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila has urged Nigerian students and youths to participate fully in the 2023 general elections by voting for a presidential candidate with track records.

Gbajabiamila said this when the leaders of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, paid him an appreciative visit in his office in Abuja on Wednesday.

NANS executives were led by their President, Usman Barambu to appreciate the key role the Speaker played in ending the eight-month-long strike embarked on by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

Speaking, Gbajabiamila said Nigerian students are a very important segment of Nigeria for national development.

 He added that the role of youth in society cannot be overemphasized because they play a very critical role in what happens in this country now and in the future.

The Speaker asked them to look at current issues and use them to choose a presidential candidate that addresses them in their campaigns.
