UGHELLI — WORRIED by the problem of insecurity in the country, Niger Delta Youth Movement, NDYM, has summoned a meeting of youth leaders from across the six geo-political regions of the country in an effort to address security challenges posed by the Boko Haram sect.

NDYM, in a statement by its National President, Mr. Godspower Odenema and National Secretary, Mr. Moses Omo-Ikirodah, said: “A meeting of prominent youth leaders from the six geo-political zones of Nigeria is being summoned to frontally address the recent security challenges posed by Boko Haram.

“The decision was reached at the end of a crucial meeting held by the National Executive Council of the organisation. The proposed meeting would seek to fashion out modalities to pay visits to Northern religious and political leaders to prevail on the members of Boko Haram to embrace peace in agitating for those things that made them pick up arms against their fatherland.

“NDYM feels very bad and agitated when we recall that the people of the Niger Delta region firmly and fully supported all the military and civilian Northern Heads of State and Presidents. Now that somebody from the Niger Delta region is President of Nigeria, some persons in the North had sworn to make the country ungovernable.

“We call on all Nigerian youths, who will be invited for this very important meeting, to come with proposals, ideas and initiatives aimed at putting an end to the insecurity being orchestrated by Boko Haram. We want all Nigerians to realise the fact that one good turn deserves another.”
