The National Assembly at the weekend in Abuja assured that it will enhance relevant legislative frameworks to create more opportunities for the Nigerian youths to tackle brain drain in the country.
Deputy President of the Senate and 1st Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS Parliament), Senator Jibrin Barau dropped the hint at an event by Muslim Men in Business and the Professions.
Barau also assured of the readiness of the ECOWAS Parliament to create an enabling environment within the West African sub-region through legislation to promote the socio-economic welfare of the people.
He noted that the theme of the conference, “Between patriotism and self-preservation’ and the topic, ‘Dilemma of the Nigerian youth: challenges at home, uncertainties abroad”, reflected the ethical dilemma confronting some of the country’s youth whose skewed mindset does not allow to appreciate the value and true essence of being Nigerian.
The Deputy Senate President, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, added that working with the executive arm, the federal legislature will create opportunities for the youth to pursue their potential to the highest levels within the country’s shores
