In nine days polls open for Nigeria’s presidential and parliamentary elections. It’s one of the most hotly contested elections in years and the stakes are high.
One of Nigeria’s most important demographics is young people. The country has the largest number of young people anywhere in the world- over 60% of Nigerians are under the age of 30.
But do young Nigerians fell they have the power to change their country? Do they feel their voices will be heard in this election? Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja is in Lagos to hear the views of young people there.
