The Pan-African Socialist Movement (PSM), a progressive
students movement has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint progressive
and energetic youth as minister of youths and sports.
The President of PSM in Nigeria, Mr Bestman Okereafor, made
the call in a statement to the newsmen in Enugu on Tuesday.
“The leadership of PSM has critically studied recent
developments in the Youths and Sports Ministry under the current watch of Mr
Solomon Dalung, and has discovered that it has performed below expectations.
“This is based on the current disunity which has brought
about factions among various national youth bodies in the country; as at today
the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) national leadership has three
factions.
“As well, there is poor preparation of athletes ahead of
international tournaments and preparation of the National Sports Festival, an
event which is expected to discover and build more talents capable of making
Nigeria proud at world stage among others,’’ Okereafor said.
“PSM is calling on the National Leader of All Progressives
Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to help appeal to our listening President
to consider our request as this will be a gift to the youth constituency,’’ he
said.
