That is the legacy you should leave behind. Work with the Honourable Commissioner to train and develop our young people. That is all I expect from you, not to fight yourself or the Government."



The Governor who has been emphatic about his commitment to peace and unity of the State, cautioned them to avoid being used by anyone to foment trouble, as such would not be tolerated.

their elections, their utmost interest and commitment should be to the State.


"From the faces I have seen here, I believe that you are good people and you should be able to collaborate and work with each other. Don't bring ethnic sentiments here.



"We should work together. It is not about Ibibio, Annang, or Oro. You are all young people, and Akwa Ibom is one. Our forebears worked together, that is why we had the Ibibio State College in Annang Land."


He commended the Commissioner for Youths Development, Dr. Ekerette Ekanem, and the Electoral Board for the successful conduct of the election, and urged the Commissioner to recognize them and work with them for the good of the State.



Earlier, Dr. Ekanem said it was two years since the resolution of the immediate past Executive Council of the body, adding that the chapter has successfully elected new members to pilot their affairs.


He appreciated the Governor for his love for the youths, especially with the creation of a separate ministry for youths development, and specifically commended him for his lofty plans and programmes for the youths.


"Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity and platform to get our youths developed. Here before you are the new elected members of the State Youth Executive Council of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Akwa Ibom State. The election was conducted successfully two days ago, and in line with the constitution of the National Youth Council of Nigeria," he said.
