Congress of Nigerian Youths (CONYO) is the umbrella body for all progressive Nigerian Youths who are exceptionally focus with mission to sustain new generation ideology in line with 21st century. We are active young men and women that are repute, dedicated and committed to selfless service to change public orientation and perspective on anechoic mentalities of old generation such as religion bigotry, tribal sentiment, corruption, moral decadence, indiscipline, social class, discrepancy among other rampant vices among the Youths for a promising and brighter future for sustainable unity, peace and development of Nigeria.

CONYO has been in existence over some decades which was then led by Late Chief Gani Fawehinmi, this association remains the second largest youth movement in Nigeria. The organization is also saddled with the responsibilities of agitating for qualitative education for Nigerian youths, promoting unity, leadership development and protecting the rights of Nigerian youths.
The leadership of CONYO also contributes to nation building through social empowerment, job empowerment and sensitization programs to the youths.

Series of programs had been held in the past but recently during this pandemic period, the leadership of the organization organize an outreach which is tagged "Giving Back to the Society".

The first phase of the outreach involved the distributions of food items to the students and youths while the second phase involved the distributions of food packages to the less privileged, the widows/widowers, the disabled and the elderly people above 70years.

The third phase of the outreach which kick started few weeks ago involves the distribution of face masks to over 350 police divisions and indegenous security agencies across the Southwestern part of Nigeria. The Nigeria police force is also one of the leading and front line agency whose impact during this pandemic period can not be eradicated. As an organization, we believe in safety and protection of life and property

We believe together we can fight and overcome this period together. We also use this medium to advice all Nigerians to follow the lay down rules as the Federal government continue to relax the lockdown.
