Our Correspondent was there and reports that the INEC Commissioner who is also in charge of South-East Zone explained that the Youth Engagement Programme was part of the Commission’s fourteen-point election scheduled programmes designed to ensure youth consciousness and inclusiveness in the electoral process describing them as a formidable force for democracy.
