Inaugural Address By Comrade Folarin Adegboyega Awal
As the 3rd Cordinator Elect of National Youth Council of Nigeria, Imota Local Council Development Area, I want to thank Almighty God for keeping our lives up till this moment and for making this programme a reality.
As youth advocates, it is a no news that we are facing so many unprecedented challenges and social unrest threatening our noble communities and our own dear nation Nigeria. So, we cannot afford to lag behind in wagging war by all means against the ravaging social ills and vices that had been dashing out the hopes, aspirations and fate of our youths in particular and also the society at large for a very long time. Among the roles that we all need to play in unity is to work with other voluntary youth organizations, recognized stakeholders and agencies towards bringing back the glory and reclaim the respect of the founding fathers of this great town.
As a stakeholders in this our noble Imota town, our primary objectives include; strive to ensure there is peace and harmony in the entire Imota LCDA, organize programmes that will be channel towards the progress of the youths and community development, consolidate the past efforts and good legacy of our predecessors, create an environment that will enable us to generate funds to implement our projects and programmes and make our organization a valued partner with relevant agencies and Non-governmental organizations across the country.
Today’s inauguration must be seen as a rebirth of a new dawn which I believe will eventually make up the emergence of the long awaiting glory and expectations in the history of Youth Council of Imota LCDA. To my executive cabinet, I want all of us to see this as a clarion call that will lead to the re-birth of youth emancipation and make us true development crusader and further command respect for us from all and sundry in the League of youths organizations in Ikorodu division of Lagos State and Nigeria at large
In the coming weeks, we will start to unravel our action plan and agenda for this year. In lieu of this, I’m using this medium to implore you all to kindly invite everyone to join hands with us in the task of societal development, nation building and put entire Imota youths back on the front row where we rightly belong.
God bless all Imota youths
