The Chairman of the group, Dr Musa Wakili, in a statement on Saturday in Abuja, said the appointment of Hashidu demonstrated the President’s commitment to give more opportunities to youths in the country.
According to Wakili, such appointments will provide opportunities for youths to express their capacities.
Wakili also congratulated the new NEDC boss for meriting the confidence of President Buhari to have been given the task of changing the narrative of the region.
The group prayed for a successful tenure for the new NEDC helmsman.
The group also urged him to ensure that he discharged the responsibilities of his new office in a manner that would encourage more appointments of youthful Nigerians into high political and administrative positions.
