History And Background Of The NYCN
The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) is an umbrella body for all youth organisations in Nigeria. It was established in 1964 with the aim of providing a platform for Nigerian youth to come together, discuss issues affecting them, and make recommendations to the government and other stakeholders on policies and programs that will benefit the Nigerian youth.
The NYCN comprises elected representatives from all 36 states in Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). It also has a national executive council that oversees the affairs of the organisation at the national level.
The primary objectives of the NYCN include promoting the welfare and well-being of Nigerian youth, fostering national unity, and promoting youth participation in national development.
