The Ambassador of the Youth Assembly of Nigeria (YAN), Enugu State Chapter, has called on the Federal Government to urgently address the lingering security challenges in Isi-Uzo and Uzo-Uwani Local Government Areas of Enugu State.
This call was made during the second sitting of the 4th Republic of Youth Assembly of Nigeria, held at the Army Resource Centre, Asokoro, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, under the theme “From Awareness to Action: Empowering Youth for National Security.” The sitting was presided by the National Speaker, Hon. Famuyibo Oluwasegun (Captain).
In his address, Ambassador Chidubem Ugwueze JP, who represents the Enugu State Chapter, stated that the main concern and pains of Enugu youths, particularly in communities recently affected is the continued attacks in Isi-Uzo and Uzo-Uwani.
“It is an honour to present the plight of Ndi Enugu youths, especially regarding insecurity, before the Honourable Minister for Defence, who was ably represented by his Technical Assistant, Maj. Gen. Jubril (Rtd). I am grateful for his assurance of renewed commitment to tackle these security challenges in the affected areas,” Ambassador Ugwueze said.
The significant sitting of the Assembly attracted notable personalities, including the Chairman of the Senate Committee on North Central Development and Senator representing Benue North West Senatorial District, Sen. Titus Zam Tartenger, along with renowned ideologists, problem-solvers, entrepreneurs, CEOs, clerics, and security experts.
Ambassador Ugwueze’s representation at the national stage is a testament to his unwavering commitment to fulfilling his promises to the youths of Enugu State. He emphasized that bridging the gap between the government and the youth remains a critical step towards national development.
“Our goal in YAN is clear: to bring the youths closer to the government and the government closer to the youths. This is the only way we can empower the next generation to take action and secure the future we all deserve,” he concluded.
The Youth Assembly of Nigeria continues to serve as a formidable platform for amplifying youth voices and driving meaningful engagement towards national security and development.
