Here are some answers given by the Nigerian twittersphere:

@benmurraybruce @MBuhari Agreed sir, but we have to define who a youth is, also the elective age should be lowered to 25.

@benmurraybruce Yes,qualified youths ought to be considered for ministerial appointment. But leadership training mustn’t start at that level

@benmurraybruce @MBuhari I wonder. No vision for the youths
