The Nigeria Youth Organisation (NYO) has working on reforms that would ensure Nigerian youths get involved in governance and contribute positively to the growth and development of the country.
The newly installed President of NYO, Duke Alamboye, stated this, promising that NYO as is one the oldest youth organisations in Nigeria, would drive the positive change the country desires.
“Our organisation is one of the oldest youth organisations in Nigeria. In my tenure, we have the responsibility to restructure the state organ. We will source for capable youths who can handle state executives and form the national structure. Most importantly, to regain the confidence and peace of our organization,” he said.
Alamboye, who commended the determination of the President Bola Tinubu to change the narratives, noted that NYO would work closely with Ministry of Youths and other relevant government agencies to ensure that Nigerian youths are involved in governance so that their great potential could be harnessed and add value to the nation’s economic growth.
He said: “We will begin to support the good policies of the government and go against ones that are not in conformity with the development of our country. After my tenure, there will be a standard and renounced organization.”
According to him, NYO will also play a major role in tackling the current security challenges the country is grappling with, explaining that the organisation plan to commence a nationwide advocacy and sentisation of youths on security and development across the country.
Speaking on the same vein, the National Secretary of the Board of Trustee (BoT) of NYO, Dr. Olusegun Adeleye, noted that the organisation is prepared to organise social empowerment programmes for the Nigeria youths, among others
He said: “The organisation will reemphasis the dignity of labour and contribute to the security of the country like we did in the 80s when we were in the service of administration of the organisation.
“We have had meetings and have agreed that we will be organising a social empowerment programme. This administration will focus on renewed energy by reassuring the youths tremendously by creating an enabling environment for empowerment programmes.
“In terms of security, the youths will live up to their expectations in maintaining peace and harmony within other youths and the entire country,” he said.
