“By advocating for policy reforms, driving digital and technological innovation, promoting cultural exchange, and contributing to peacebuilding and economic development, young people can help create a more unified and prosperous continent,” he says.
He says regional integration is essential for ensuring long-term, sustainable development and fostering stronger cross-border cooperation in Africa.

As NRM prepares for the delegates conference on the 25th of August where delegates will elect their flag bearer for the different youth positions at National Youth Council and those for Youth MPs, Ezra is optimistic that he will hold the flag for his party.
He urges delegates to stand with him and elect him as the party’s flag bearer because he best understands their challenges having faced them first-hand.
“I am not just aware of the challenges we face, I am well exposed to them and I am ready to take on the responsibilities to be that voice in parliament. I am asking not just for your vote but for us to stand together as partners in this journey,” he says.
