Over 3,000 NYCN members protest against withdrawal of CAC registration
Over 3,000 members of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Thursday, protested the recent deregistration of the council by the Corporate Affairs Commission.
Addressing the press during the protest at CAC headquarters, Secretary General of NYCN, Barrister Abubakar Suleiman, said, as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), the Registrar General of CAC, Hussaini Ishaq Magaji (SAN), is sabotaging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda by delisting NYCN from CAC without waiting for court judgment.
He said: “Over 3,000 Nigeria youth are gathered here today, because of the impunity, lawlessness and the attitude of the Registrar General of the CAC. Nigeria is a federation. We are not living in a country of anomie. We are living in a country where the law works. The National Youth Council of Nigeria, the highest youth council, have its organisation registered with the CAC, Corporate and Affairs Commission.
“Just recently, two days ago, there was a publication from the CAC that it has withdrawn the certificate of National Youth Council of Nigeria, as well as set up a committee to manage the affairs of the council. We have a pending suit at the Court of Appeal against CAC. CAC is a party to a suit that is pending at the Court of Appeal.
“We had won a suit in federal high courts. They inferred that CAC has no power to delist the Youth Council of Nigeria. But quite unfortunately, the Registrar General went and delisted the Youth Council of Nigeria from the portal of CAC, and issued a publication, as well as set up a committee to manage the affairs of the National Youth Council of Nigeria.
“We are here to say no. Enough to impunity. Enough to this. The RG must go. It is obvious that the RG of CAC is working against the ambition of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Renewed Hope Agenda that we are all clamouring for, and we are all supporting the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“The RG, who is an employee of the presidency, is working against President Tinubu. We are here today to tell Nigerians, to tell the world that enough is enough. Enough of impunity.
Enough of lawlessness. It is time that Nigeria youths raised their voice and tell President Tinubu, RG must go.
“We are not just doing here today, we are not just stopping here. This is the first day of our flagging off. For 30 days, this protest will continue until President Tinubu sacks RG. We have mobilised our youths across the 36 states plus FCT, 774 local governments, to do the same protest in every state that CAC office is located. We are not leaving any CAC office until the RG is sacked.
“We know a lot of impunity is going on in this office. So many staff were employed at the background, without following due process. We are not ready to say that.
The same RG has a pending case before Court of Appeal and the same RG is here again to delist National Council of Nigeria from the list unlawfully, while there is a pending suit in the Court of Appeal. And we have won a suit at the Federal High Court and we got judgment.
“So on which ground is he deregistering NYCN? The CAC RG is a lawyer, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria for that matter. I’m a member of the Bar. I wonder how such person of hierarchy of the profession, a noble profession, a gentleman to the core, will do this. We say no to this impunity.”

Joel Ajayi
In a strong affirmation of his administration’s vision for a technology-enabled public service, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has reiterated the Federal Government’s unwavering commitment to building a world-class, digitally-driven, and citizen-centred workforce capable of driving inclusive and sustainable national development.
The President, represented by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, OON, mni, at the opening ceremony of the 57th International Conference and Exhibition of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM) held in Abuja, noted that the Conference provides a vital platform for thought leaders, policymakers, and human resource professionals to examine and discuss the evolving dynamics of work under the theme, “Reimagining the New World of Work.”
President Tinubu commended the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria for its consistency and nearly six decades of professional excellence, ethical leadership, and dedication to human capital development in Nigeria. He acknowledged the Institute’s invaluable role in promoting professionalism and strengthening workforce governance across both public and private sectors.
Highlighting the Administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the President emphasized that “Nigeria’s greatest asset is not its oil or minerals, but its people.” He underscored key Federal Government initiatives such as the 3 Million Technical Talent Programme (3MTT) and the National Talent Export Programme (NATEP), designed to position Nigeria as a global hub for skilled digital professionals.
The President also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ongoing public service transformation through the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2025 (FCSSIP25), which aims to achieve a fully digital and paperless civil service by 31st December, 2025.
He explained that the adoption of the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution is a major milestone in enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accountability in public service operations.
In his welcome address, the President and Chairman of the Governing Council of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM), Mallam Ahmed Ladan Gobir FCIPM, fnli, emphasized that the future of work will not necessarily reward the strongest or the smartest, but those courageous enough to remain human in a digital world. He described the conference as “not just another HR event, but a transformative movement that will echo through boardrooms, classrooms, and corridors of influence for years to come.”
Mallam Gobir reaffirmed the Institute’s commitment to redefining workplace leadership and advancing professional excellence. He urged human resource professionals to transcend traditional management practices and cultivate work environments “where humans and technology collaborate, not compete; where innovation meets integrity, and productivity aligns with purpose.”
