No Leadership Vacuum in NYCN – Council Reacts to CAC’s Alleged Withdrawal

The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has noted with concern recent reports alleging the withdrawal of its certificate of incorporation by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC),

alongside the purported appointment of an interim management team by the Federal Ministry of Youth Development (FMYD).


In a statement Signed President, National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) Amb. Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo and  NYCN Board of TrusteesOn Wednesday in Abuja 


According to the statement, wish to state categorically that the leadership of the NYCN under Ambassador Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo remains the only legitimate and legally recognized leadership, as affirmed by the Federal High Court in Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/1553/2022 – Incorporated Trustees of the NYCN & 4 Ors vs CAC & 3 Ors.


In that judgment, Hon. Justice D.U. Okorowo upheld both the validity of the NYCN’s certificate of incorporation and the lawfulness of the current leadership structure. While this matter is presently under appeal in Appeal No: CA/ABJ/CV/13081/2023, the High Court ruling remains valid and binding until set aside by a higher court.


Therefore, any actions taken by the CAC or FMYD to withdraw the certificate or appoint an interim leadership are illegal, premature, and in contempt of court. These actions amount to a clear case of self-help and an attempt to undermine the rule of law.


We urge all NYCN members across the federation—state chapters, zonal coordinators, affiliate bodies, and Nigerian youths at large—to remain calm and law-abiding. Disregard any announcements or directives from unauthorized individuals or agencies seeking to destabilize the Council’s leadership.


The NYCN remains committed to unity, peace, and youth development in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

“We call for collective focus on building a stronger, inclusive, and forward-looking Council that truly represents the voice and aspirations of Nigerian youths.”
