Borno: NYCN seeks partnership with BOSU on youths development

The National Youth Council of Nigeria, Borno State Chapter has sought to partner with the Borno State University in youth development in the state. 

This was disclosed by the Chairman of the council Gov. of Borno State Prof. Babagana Umara Zullum, who was represented by Comr. Tanimu A. Tahir during a courtesy call to the Vice Chancellor Borno State University Prof. Umar Kyari Sandabe at the University conference room.

Tahir said the council is the apex youth council in the country and was established in 1964 and was recognized by the constitution of Nigeria in 1990. 

Tahir added that he was at BOSU with his delegation to recognize the contribution of BOSU in respect to her efforts in the area of youth’s development in the state and also in view of the giant strides of leadership exhibited by the VC BOSU.

He explained that the council is requesting for partnership in youth development in Borno State and to contribute to the post-conflict solutions. 

He said that the development of the youths is crucial to the overall progress of the state and there is no better organization to encourage it than a citadel of learning, hence their visit to BOSU. 

“The council seeks partnership in areas of Digital Literacy training for the youths, Professional training, Entrepreneurship training, and Management of data.

“BOSU is our first point of contact because I believe it has a lot to offer because of the caliber of professional staff BOSU has and the development in the campus we saw.” He added.

Responding, Prof. Sandabe who welcomes the delegates on behalf of the University Management appreciates the visit. 

He said, “one of the cardinal points of BOSU is to have a wide range of opinions especially from the youths. The University has a youth as member of her council in the person of Comr. Mahmud Muhammad, who is also a member of the National Youth Council of Nigeria Borno State Chapter and he has not disappointed the University so far.”

He advised that if the youths have high quality of governance, there will be no problem in the society. 

“The youths of this generation are highly ambitious, and need to be careful not to be part of corruption, unhealthy competition among.” He said.

Prof. Sandabe said the youths should emulate the good leadership style of former Head of state Gen. Murtala Mohammed whose achievements in six months are still remembered. 

He added that the youths have a critical role to play but first they must understand and learn to accommodate their differences and also to stand for the truth and persevere. 

He also assured that BOSU will work with the National Youth Council of Nigeria Borno State Chapter as requested and therefore, advises the council to always sustain the channel of communication.
