We’ll Bridge Gap Between Gov’t, Youths – NYCN

National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) president, Solomon Adodo, has emphasised the council’s critical role as a bridge between the Nigerian government and its youth population.

At the inauguration of the council’s national directorates, Adodo declared that the NYCN is undergoing a revival after years of turbulence and inactivity.

“Today, we are reviving, reinvigorating and revitalising an organisation that was once comatose and near-dead.

“The youth council must serve its full essence and purpose.”

He noted that the council’s primary mission is to champion youth interests and facilitate meaningful engagement with the government, not confrontation or division.

“We cannot make progress as a nation by fighting or opposing the government.

“We are expected to be partners in building the Nigeria of our dreams”, he stressed.

Adodo praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing him as a leader who listens and responds to the plight of young Nigerians.

“Never in our history have we had a leader more willing to engage and support the youth. Mr President sees us as collaborators in governance.”

He urged the newly inaugurated directors of the NYCN to deliver on their mandates, likening their roles to ministries in conventional governance. The aim, he said, is to ensure good leadership trickles down to the grassroots.
