The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), under the leadership of its President, Ambassador Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo, extends warm felicitations to its distinguished Role Model and the charismatic Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, on the occasion of his birthday.

In a statement Signed on Wednesday by the
President, National Youth Council of Nigeria /
Secretary, NYCN Board of Trustees Ambassador Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo stated that: This milestone is more than a celebration of another year; it is an opportunity to recognise a life of uncommon service, purposeful leadership, and enduring impact. Governor Fubara’s journey in public service reflects a deep commitment to national development, economic inclusion, and the overall progress of the people of Rivers State and Nigeria at large.

Over the past two years, amid man-made political tensions in Rivers State, Governor Fubara has demonstrated exemplary leadership marked by patience, tolerance, accommodation, and peace-building.

Beyond these qualities, he has remained resolute and principled—a calm but determined fighter committed to delivering democratic dividends to the people. His leadership approach has strengthened institutions, preserved stability, and reinforced public confidence in governance.

Under his stewardship, Rivers State has recorded notable progress across key sectors. Education has received renewed attention through improved policies and targeted investments aimed at building human capital. The health sector has benefited from strategic interventions designed to improve access and the quality of care. Agriculture has been strengthened through programmes that support farmers and enhance food security. Youth empowerment initiatives have expanded opportunities for skills acquisition, enterprise development, and employment, reflecting the Governor’s belief in young people as drivers of sustainable development.

Collectively, these efforts have contributed to a steady turnaround of the state’s economy, with visible benefits reaching communities across the local government areas.
These achievements explain why Nigerian youths strongly identify with Governor Fubara’s leadership and vision. His inclusive governance style resonates with the aspirations of young Nigerians who desire fairness, opportunity, and progress.

The NYCN therefore affirms its unwavering support and solidarity with his administration as it continues to chart a path of development, unity, and shared prosperity.

As he marks this special day, the National Youth Council of Nigeria wishes His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, a happy birthday, along with prayers for continued good health, wisdom, divine guidance, and success in all his endeavours.
