Abstract

The authors developed a set of validated questionnaires for a survey on the views and predispositions of 1500 stratified random sample of Nigerian youths in Ekiti State to media reports of the conduct and behaviours of many of the political office holders and citizens in high public offices in Nigeria. The results of the data show a no significant difference in the sample’s approved of the unbecoming public conduct of many of the public office holders by the statistics of the sample in the study. Against the backdrop of the wide room made for the youths participation at thr different strata of the political structure in the constitution and the notable number of the present political office holders in the youth’s age range, the findings were discussed in terms of a need for political education and predictability of the youths in the of their preparations to participate in politics. The paper concluded on the recommendation that the content of the general studies curriculum in the tertiary institutions needed to be reviewed to contain modules of the intent in higher institutions. This would give broad mindedness, tolerance, sublimation, statesmanship, nationalism and political knowledge in the needed character, traits and profile of the ideal Nigerian politician.
