The National Youth Council of Nigeria(NYCN) says it has inaugurated its newly elected executives to pilot its affairs for four years in Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Osun, Kano and Kaduna states.
Mr Sokubo Sara-Igbe, President of the council, in a statement on Monday in Port Harcourt, charged the new executives on transparency, accountability, and inclusivity.
He noted that the election and inauguration which held in Port Harcourt was aimed at promoting peace, cohesion and youth development in member States.
Sara-Igbe also tasked the newly elected executives to bring their wealth of experience to bear by positively impacting the youths through innovative programmes.
Describing NYCN as a non-political organisation, Sara-Igbe urged the new executives to collaborate with the government and private individuals.
He noted that such collaboration would help them develop programmes for impactful youth empowerment.
”The NYCN is not a political platform, it is a non- partisan organisation, you must not make any political endorsements using this platform.
”You must not allow yourselves to be used by politicians to act against the constitution of the council as perpetrators are liable to termination.
”As national leaders, we will continue to support and work with the government at all levels by ensuring that the interest of the Nigerian youth is protected,” he said.
Sara-Igbe, however, said that the council would continue to strive towards promoting youth inclusion in governance in order to engender peace and curb restiveness.
Those inaugurated are Ambrose Okpo (Rivers), Akinbode Oluwasegun (Osun), Muhammed Sule (Kano), Umar Abubakar (Kaduna) and Uduak Reuben (Akwa Ibom).(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
