Barr. Chioma Ifemenam, National Welfare Officer and the Commonwealth Youth Ambassador, has called for youth inclusiveness and participation in governance.

Ifemenam, who represented the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) at the recently concluded Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in United Kingdom, made the call at a reception organized for her by the youth on Tuesday in Abuja.

She appealed to the Federal Government to finance youth development programmes through a recognised and organised body like NYCN.

The ambassador advocated for the reduction of youth unemployment through the support and promotion of youth entrepreneurship and innovation, which was capable of addressing insecurity and youth restiveness among others.

NYCN’s President, Malam Murtala Garba, commended her at a reception organised for Ifemenam by the council at Youth House on Tuesday in Abuja.

Garba, represented by the Director, Media and Publicity, NYCN, Malam Gambo Jagindi, said that the council was proud of Ifemenam because she represented over 80 million Nigerian youths excellently during the Commonwealth meeting.

He explained that Ifemenam was nominated to represent the youth at the forum due to her commitment, dedication and passion in championing the welfare and progress of the youth.
