Office of the Chairman, National Youth Council of Nigeria, Delta State

The State Chairman of the Delta State Council of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Comrade Odiri Milton Sagboje, CLN, has called for sustained collaboration among youth-focused organizations as a strategic response to unemployment, drug abuse, cultism, and declining youth participation in governance across the state.

Sagboje made the call while receiving the leadership and members of the National Youth Assembly of Nigeria (NYAN), Delta State Chapter, during a courtesy visit in Asaba. He described the engagement as timely, noting that it reflects a growing resolve among young people to unite around shared challenges and workable solutions.

According to him, the complex social and economic issues confronting youths can only be effectively addressed through a united front, coordinated advocacy, and purposeful partnerships that go beyond rhetoric to deliver tangible outcomes.

Discussions during the meeting focused on youth participation in governance, leadership development, voter sensitization, unemployment, and the rising threats of drug abuse and cultism. Sagboje warned that drug abuse and cult-related activities continue to undermine youth productivity and community safety, stressing the need for proactive awareness campaigns, grassroots engagement, and collaboration with relevant authorities to curb the menace.

He further emphasized that youth empowerment through skills acquisition, capacity building, and access to opportunities remains a critical pathway to reducing unemployment and economic vulnerability. He added that increased youth involvement in the electoral process is essential for strengthening democracy and promoting inclusive governance.

Earlier, the Speaker of the National Youth Assembly of Nigeria, Delta State Chapter, Comrade Uwafili Ikechukwu, said the visit was aimed at strengthening institutional synergy among youth bodies and presenting a united front in addressing challenges facing young people in Delta State. He called for sustained collaboration in youth advocacy, civic engagement, voter sensitization, and the fight against drug abuse and cultism.

Sagboje commended the NYAN delegation for their show of solidarity and commitment to purposeful youth engagement, describing the visit as a reaffirmation of shared responsibility to safeguard the future of the next generation.

“As the umbrella body of all youth organizations, the NYCN remains open, inclusive, and committed to partnerships that uplift young people and translate dialogue into concrete actions that will positively impact youths across Delta State,” he said.

The NYCN Chairman was joined by the Deputy State Chairman, Comrade Okotie Omatseye Benjamin, and the State Secretary, Comrade Onyimah Michael Chukwuemeke.

In commemoration of the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, the Delta State Council of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has issued a stirring tribute to the nation’s fallen heroes, characterizing their sacrifices as the bedrock of Nigeria’s unity and peace.

In a goodwill message released by the State Chairman, Comr. Sagboje, Odiri Milton, CLN, the council emphasized that the day transcends mere ceremony. Sagboje described it as a moment of profound reflection on the patriotism of those who paid the supreme price to defend the nation.

“Our fallen heroes stood firm in the face of danger, choosing duty over life itself,” Sagboje stated. He further extended gratitude to serving and retired personnel for their unwavering commitment to national security under challenging conditions.

Strategic Support for Youth in Service The Chairman also used the occasion to commend the Executive Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for his active role in encouraging young Deltans to pursue military careers. Sagboje hailed the Governor’s recruitment drive as a “strategic investment in youth empowerment,” noting that it fosters discipline and a sense of purpose within the state’s youth population.

The NYCN concluded its message by calling on Nigerian youths to reject social vices and instead embrace the values of discipline and national service exemplified by the armed forces.

The Delta State Chairman of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Comrade Sagboje Odiri Milton (CLN), has urged Nigerian youths to embrace skill acquisition as a critical pathway to personal growth, economic independence, and sustainable national development.

Comrade Sagboje made this call at the flag-off ceremony of the 2025 World Youth Skills Day, organized by the Ika North East Chapter of the NYCN in Owa, under the theme “Empowering Youth Through Skills for a Sustainable Future.”

The programme brought together selected executives from the fourteen wards in Ika North East Local Government Area. These executives are expected to serve as ambassadors of the initiative by mobilizing and sensitizing youths within their respective wards to enroll in the Delta State Skill Acquisition Centres. The initiative is aimed at enhancing youth empowerment, reducing unemployment, and promoting self-reliance across the state.

In his address, Comrade Sagboje emphasized that skill acquisition remains a cornerstone for financial stability and long-term sustainability. According to him, “Skills form the foundation of a sustainable future free from financial dependency. Our youths must rise above reliance and embrace creativity, innovation, and productivity through deliberate skill development.”

He further noted that the initiative aligns with the MORE Agenda of the Delta State Government under the leadership of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, which prioritizes Opportunities for All. He reaffirmed the commitment of the NYCN to collaborating with government agencies, training institutions, and private-sector partners to expand access to skill development opportunities for young people across Delta State.

Comrade Sagboje also commended the Executive Chairman of Ika North East Local Government Area, Hon. Monday Odigwe, for his consistent support for youth development and NYCN programmes within the LGA. He described him as a youth-friendly leader whose partnership continues to drive positive grassroots transformation, while encouraging other local government chairmen across the state to emulate such support. He further reiterated that the National Youth Council of Nigeria remains the apex youth body and the officially recognized voice of Nigerian youths, as stipulated in the National Youth Policy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

While applauding the leadership of the NYCN Ika North East Chapter for its vision and commitment, Comrade Sagboje described the chapter as a model of effective grassroots leadership. He encouraged other chapters across the state to replicate similar initiatives that equip youths with relevant skills for a sustainable future.

In a goodwill message, the NYCN Vice President (South-South), Amb. Kenneth Okorie, expressed appreciation to the Ika North East Chapter for the warm reception and support, describing the event as a memorable first engagement. He pledged both financial and administrative support for the skill acquisition scholarship programme, stressing that “every young person willing to learn a trade or acquire a skill must be given equal opportunity. No youth from Ika North East should be left behind in our pursuit of a sustainable future.”

Earlier, in his keynote lecture titled “Empowering Youths for a Skilled and Sustainable Future,” Venerable Patrick Onyekachukwu Okoh highlighted the importance of discipline, perseverance, and innovation in achieving success through skill acquisition. He encouraged participants to view skills not only as a means of livelihood but also as powerful tools for national transformation.

In his welcome address, the Chairman of the NYCN Ika North East Chapter, Comrade Lucky Ehiobu, thanked the State Chairman and other dignitaries for their presence and support.

Governance is most effective when it reflects the voices, ideas, and aspirations of the people especially the youth. In Delta State, young people make up a significant portion of the population, yet their full potential in governance is still unfolding. The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Delta State Chapter believes that meaningful youth participation is not only important, but essential for sustainable development.

Why Youth Participation Matters

Youth participation in governance brings fresh perspectives, innovation, and energy into decision-making processes. Young people understand the challenges facing their communities, from education and employment to security and technology—and are well-positioned to propose practical solutions.

When youth are involved in governance, policies become more inclusive, leadership becomes more responsive, and trust between government and citizens is strengthened. Active participation also helps young people develop leadership skills, civic responsibility, and a sense of ownership in the future of their state.

The Role of NYCN Delta State

The NYCN Delta State Chapter serves as a bridge between young people and government institutions. Through advocacy, dialogue, and structured engagement, the Council creates platforms where youth voices can be heard and respected.

By organizing town hall meetings, leadership workshops, civic education programs, and policy discussions, NYCN ensures that young people are informed, confident, and prepared to engage constructively in governance. The Council also represents youth interests in consultations with government agencies and stakeholders.

Ways Delta State Youth Can Get Involved

There are many practical ways young people in Delta State can participate in governance:

• Civic Engagement: Participating in community meetings, youth forums, and public consultations.

• Advocacy: Speaking up on issues that affect youth and communities through organized platforms.

• Leadership Roles: Serving in youth councils, student bodies, and community development associations.

• Policy Participation: Contributing ideas, research, and feedback during policy formulation and implementation processes.

• Volunteerism: Supporting development projects and public service initiatives at the local level.

These actions may seem small, but collectively, they create powerful change.

Building Responsible Future Leaders

Youth participation is not just about being present—it is about being prepared. NYCN Delta State focuses on equipping young people with leadership skills, ethical values, and knowledge of governance processes. This ensures that participation is meaningful, constructive, and impactful.

By mentoring young leaders and promoting transparency, accountability, and service, the Council is helping to raise a generation that understands governance as a responsibility, not a privilege.

A Call to Action

The future of Delta State depends on the involvement of its youth today. Governance should not be left to a few; it should be a collective effort driven by informed and active citizens.

The National Youth Council of Nigeria, Delta State Chapter calls on every young person to take an active role—ask questions, participate in discussions, volunteer, and lead with integrity. When youth engage in governance, they help shape policies, strengthen democracy, and build a better future for all.

By empowering the youth, we strengthen governance.
By participating today, we build the leaders of tomorrow.

The saying “Build the Youth, Build the Nation” is more than just a motto—it’s a vision that guides the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Delta State Chapter. Over the years, this vision has translated into action, programs, and initiatives that empower young people across Delta State, equipping them to take on leadership roles, create opportunities, and make a tangible impact in their communities. In this post, we celebrate some inspiring success stories that highlight how the Council has been shaping the future, one young person at a time.
