Why Nigerian Youth Should Have Faith in Tinubu, Military – NYCN Boss

President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Ambassador Solomon Adodo has charged Nigerian youth to remain focused, vigilant and have faith in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda as well as the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) under the leadership of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Gwabin Musa.

 

Adodo gave this charge in his New Year message made available to newsmen at the Nigeria Youth House, Abuja.

 

He said since his “assumption of leadership as the NYCN in 2019, the country had passed through a lot of epochs, some pleasant and others very pleasant but we have steered the ship, making the voices of the youth heard.”

 

He said as the youth prepare for the conduct of elections to pave way for a new breed of vibrant young leaders to emerge to steer the affairs of the council, the resilience of the Nigerian youth should be commended.

 

According to him, “We have challenged but not chained; hopeful and confident; progressive and productive. It is my earnest belief that by our sheer determination and abiding faith, we have crossed the toughest times.”

 

He said ; “The criminal subsidy regime was ended and the worst forex round tripping crime ever known to this country was also ended, because this was the right time to do. We thank the Nigerian youth for your patience and urge you to continue to support President Tinubu’s administration for growth and development of Nigeria,” he added.

 

Adodo observed that, apart from the Dangote Refinery which will certainly begin full production this year, the Port Harcourt Refinery is also ready to start production, saying these are undeniable achievements which will change the economic narratives in the country.

 

“President Tinubu did not start only these projects, but he has clearly opened the economic space and swiftly completed them, others are following in quick successions so we must remain focused, vigilant and have faith in the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President,” said Adodo.

 

In terms of security, Adodo stated: “The Nigerian Youth herein reiterate our faith and unflinching confidence in the Nigerian Military under the command of the Chief of Defence Staff  – Gen. C. G. Musa and other Security Agencies who are facing an unusual war which is asymmetric and frustratingly tricky. We urge them not to relent.

 

“Our prayers and thoughts are with them. We call on all Nigerians to give them needed support and cooperation,” Adodo added.
