“National Unity Call: Leaders Urged to Prioritize Progress Over Personal Interests”

Leaders across all areas in Nigeria have been enjoined to prioritize national interest and progress before personal interests as a way of building a better nation and bringing an end to a series of issues affecting our growth.

The leadership of Progressive United Nigerian Youths (Puny) made this call on Friday in Enugu during its National Administrative Committee meeting held at Castle Majestic Hotels, Enugu.

Speaking with newsmen, The National President, Comrade Chinagorom Franklin Egbo, stated that the organization was birthed to close the gap created by the inability of other youth organizations to project and protect the interest of Nigerian Youths.

He stated that the youth group has no political undertone as they stand or support no political party, which he said, if done, would dent the image and existing integrity.

He assured that he would work tirelessly to make the organization a thing to behold as well as the voice of the youths.

According to him, “Progressive United Nigerian Youths is an association of progressive-minded young persons and Nigerians who are inquisitive about changing the narrative of youth exclusion in Governance.”

“We have seen numerous groups coming out from time to time to act on behalf of the voiceless Nigerian Youths, but still, there are still gaps filled everywhere.”

“Our duty is to breach those gaps and usher in a generation of Nigerian Youths determined to make a positive impact in the country through innovation, scientific and technological inventions, amongst others.”

“We are not supporting any political party, but we work with political leaders for the well-being of society.”

Comrade Egbo also called on the Federal Government to prioritize the issue of youth inclusions as that would help in training people that would pilot the affairs of the nation in the future. He also commended state Governors who have prioritized this, urging others to follow suit.

The Vice President of the organization, Hon Musa Ibrahim Ayas, stated that the organization is determined to change the leadership narrative, thus called for unity across the nation, especially amongst members, as that is the sine qua non, to getting what we desire and moving the nation forward to enviable heights.

In his remarks, The National Treasurer Captain John Etim stated that the organization is one that protects the interest of Nigerians, especially her teeming youths.

He stated that the organization has a lot of members drawn across all spheres of life, with proven integrity, likewise; prompting why it has a formidable structure across the nation.

He posited that being apolitical was a choice of its members as they only partner with the Government across all levels to make things work.

Other members of the organization present also aired their views and called on all our leaders across the nation both political, religious, and traditional institutions to unite, join hands, and move the nation forward.

Some of the National executives Present at the meeting include Hon Egbo Franklin Chinagorom, National Chairman, Hon Musa Ibrahim Ayas, National Vice Chairman, Captain John Etim, National Treasurer, Chief Folarin Olutunji A, Oyo state chairman, Anas Abubakar Zonal coordinator, Comr Ebuka Ogbodo, Pro, Ugwuanyi Ikenna Enugu chairman, Mohammad Aminu Abdullahi (Ataka), National Secretary, amongst others.
