National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), has appointed Comr. Collins Idahosa as its European Governor.
This decision was made in recognition of the significant numbers of Nigerian youth living in Europe, as well as their contributions to national development both in Nigeria and their host countries. The establishment of the European Regional structure aims to better connect and engage with Nigerian youth in Europe, as well as provide them with a platform to participate in the activities of the National Youth Council of Nigeria.
The European Regional structure will be led by a Regional governor, who will work closely with the National Executive Council of the NYCN to coordinate activities, engage with stakeholders, and advocate for the interests of Nigerian youth in Europe. The establishment of this structure demonstrates the commitment of the National Youth Council of Nigeria to inclusivity and representation of all Nigerian youth, regardless of their location.
As the first regional structure of its kind, the European Regional structure of the National Youth Council of Nigeria is a milestone in the organisation’s history and a testament to its dedication to empowering and engaging Nigerian youth both at home and in the diaspora. Members of the Nigerian youth in Europe are encouraged to actively participate in the activities of the NYCN and contribute to the overall development of the Nigerian youth community.
The appointment was followed after the current President, Amb. Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo, resolved to commence establishment of Diaspora structures and Chapters beginning with the European Region on 14th April 2023 through the appointment of Collins Osazee Idahosa as the Governor with consent of the National Management Committee.
The Europe Chapter which consists of 50 Countries including the United Kingdom is geared towards harmonizing Nigerian Youth in Europe to align with Nigeria’s Cultural, Economic, and Political Values.
Though recently established, the Europe chapter has embarked on various projects and programs both in and outside Nigeria to complement the Parental Council.
