Nigerian youth participation in leadership and politics has evolved over time.

The Nigerian youth ecosystem has witnessed a re-awakening, from the heritage of active student federalism (1980s), where universities functioned as places for intellectual discussion and youth expression, to the youth-organized time aided by new media (2010-present). Type

The #NotTooYoungToRun campaign (2016-2018), as well as a major growth in awareness of youth movements and socio-economic and political indices in Nigeria, show that young Nigerians have a growing leadership potential.
