Professional Youth for Good Governance of Nigeria (PYGGN), said on Friday that the youth group wanted good governance from all political leaders across the country. The National President of the group, Mr Tunde Daromosu, said this in Ilorin after a one-Kilometer walk organised to demand for good governance in the country.

"PYGGN is concerned about the Nigerian State and we want the country to remain after the 2015 general elections.

"We want prosperity for Nigeria, we want good governance.

"We want to partner with the Federal, State and local government, to give back to the society the expected change and development.

"Nigeria is not supposed to be in the situation it is today," Daromosu said.

He said the country was endowed with every resource God has given to man, in human capital and capability, including abundant natural resources. Daromosu said that what the country needed now was to get it right at the top, which is the leadership level.

"This is a movement that has just started, we are not hooligans; we are professionals, educated by Nigerian parents.

"We want to give back to our society the best of ideas and knowledge that we have acquired through our learning in school and experiences in life.

"We have gathered ourselves to give support to our governments by providing an alternative to the ideas they have.

"We have concept, we want to marry public administration to public service," he added.

The National Coordinator of the group, Nasiru Abdulquadri, described one of the challenges facing the country's youth as lack of support for their aspirations.

"The problem the Nigerian youth have is that there is no conducive environment for them to strive because everyone is prioritizing money and there is no exemplary leadership.

"The only way the youth can get it right is to have leaders with a vision, that is worth being pursued by the youth," Abdulquardri said.

"The national publicity secretary of PYGGN Olawale Mohammed asserted that the only way forward for Nigeria is to get our rule of Law right and vote out corruption in our system, the government should create an enabling environment for all to thrive.

"The walk took off from the Ahmadu Bello Way, through the Muritala Muhammed Way, to the front of the Kwara State Ministry of Works, Ilorin.
