National Youth Council Of Nigeria Dissociates Self From Unauthorised Protest by aguele(m): 10:59am On Jan 13, 2023 |
The secretariat of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has dissociated itself from a protest action carried out using it’s name without authorization at the headquarters of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Speaking at a Press Conference at the council office at the federal secretariat in Abuja, the National Vice President of the NYCN Ambassador Akoshile Mukhtar described the protest as “a shambolic exercise using the cover of an institution such as the NYCN”. Ambassador Akoshile clarified that “the NYCN is a duly registered organization by the body vested with powers to register corporate bodies in Nigeria the CAC, which registration does not recognize the persons that went to the CBN under the name and mandate of Nigerian youth.” The Leadership of the NYCN “expressed shock that in a society governs people would attempt to invoke law even when they themselves and the capacity in which they invoke those laws are not know to the very law they claim to rely on”. The NYCN went further “to call on the security agencies to look into characters that carry out illegalities using the name of the federal Republic of Nigeria and a constituency such as the youth of Africa’s most populous country”. The NYCN continues to “repose confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari for his commitment to ensuring that government touches the most important aspects of society as evidenced by the largest social investment programme in Africa, unprecedented interventions including the Nigeria Youth Investment Fund, Anchor Borrowers Programme, COVID loans among others that the youth have benefited from”. The NYCN also commended President Buhari for allowing the due process of the law to prevail in the matter of the CBN and providing clarifications where such were needed at critical points in time. The NYCN at the press conference, which had in attendance principal officers of Council, “commended the CBN for supporting President Buhari’s laudable programmes for the Nigerian people, while also calling on the DSS to continue on the path of legality it has chosen to tow in this sensitive issue at such a crucial time in Nigeria’s history”.
