NATIONAL YOUTH COUNCIL OF NIGERIA (NYCN)
IKOSI–EJINRIN BRANCH
Yesterday, we held our first official familiarization meeting with the newly appointed Supervisor for Youth, Hon. Olamiji Ajewole, and the Special Adviser on Youth and Sports, Hon. Gbenga Adekoya. This engagement marks a significant step towards strengthening youth inclusion in governance within Ikosi–Ejinrin Local Council Development Area.
The meeting provided a strategic platform to establish a productive working relationship between the youth constituency and the newly appointed Cabinet members. It also created an avenue to align efforts with the Department of Agriculture, Youth, and Social Services in driving impactful, people-oriented development.
During the deliberations, we proudly acknowledged and commended the Executive Chairman, Akogun Wale Raji Anomo, for his visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to youth inclusion.
His deliberate decision to entrust young and capable individuals with key leadership roles, particularly within the youth structure, is not only commendable but also a clear demonstration of progressive and inclusive governance. This administration has undoubtedly set a benchmark for meaningful youth participation in leadership and decision-making processes.
Furthermore, the Supervisor and the Special Adviser on Youth and Sports reaffirmed their commitment to working collaboratively with youth and youth organizations to deliver tangible results and record remarkable success within the administration. This assurance signals a new era of collaboration, accountability, and shared responsibility in advancing the collective interests of our community.
As the umbrella body for all youth organizations, the NYCN Ikosi–Ejinrin Branch remains resolute, mobilized, and ready to partner with this administration to ensure that the dividends of democracy are felt across all sectors, particularly among young people, who represent the strength and future of our society.
