PRESS RELEASE
Amb. Kenneth Okorie, Vice President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), South-South Geo-Political Zone, warmly congratulates a distinguished youth leader and 5-Star Youth General, Hon. Emeke Asiwe, on his well-deserved position as the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ika North East Chapter. This remarkable achievement reflects his unwavering commitment to grassroots mobilization, youth empowerment, and progressive political leadership within Delta State and beyond.
Prior to assuming this new responsibility, Hon. Emeke Asiwe had already established himself as a visionary youth advocate whose programmes and initiatives have positively repositioned young people across the state. Through his dedication, strategic engagements, and inclusive leadership style, he has consistently created opportunities for youth development, capacity building, and civic participation.
Among the many impactful programmes championed by Hon. Asiwe are youth leadership development workshops, community-based entrepreneurial training schemes, digital literacy and technology orientation initiatives, mentorship platforms for emerging youth leaders, and skill acquisition programmes designed to reduce unemployment among young people. These initiatives have empowered hundreds of youths with practical skills, leadership values, and economic opportunities needed to contribute meaningfully to society.
In addition, he has played a key role in organizing youth mobilization campaigns, community peace-building engagements, political education forums, and youth inclusion advocacy programmes that encourage active participation of young people in governance and democratic processes. His commitment to building responsible, productive, and politically conscious youths has earned him respect across political and social circles.
The National Youth Council of Nigeria recognizes Hon. Asiwe as a bridge-builder who has consistently fostered unity among youth groups, community leaders, and political stakeholders. His ability to mobilize and inspire young people toward productive ventures and national development has set a commendable example for youth leadership across the South-South region.
As he assumes office as APC Chairman, Ika North East Chapter, we strongly believe that this new position is not only a personal victory but also a significant win for the Nigerian youth constituency. His leadership at the party level is expected to further open doors for youth participation, representation, and policy influence within the political structure.
The NYCN South-South leadership expresses confidence that Hon. Emeke Asiwe will continue to champion youth-friendly policies, promote leadership opportunities for young people, and strengthen programmes that support youth empowerment, innovation, and community development. We wish him great success in this new role and look forward to continued collaboration for the advancement of Nigerian youths.
