Youth leaders meet on Boko Haram

UGHELLI — WORRIED by the problem of insecurity in the country, Niger Delta Youth Movement, NDYM, has summoned a meeting of youth leaders from across the six geo-political regions of the country in an effort to address security challenges posed by the Boko Haram sect.

NDYM, in a statement by its National President, Mr. Godspower Odenema and National Secretary, Mr. Moses Omo-Ikirodah, said: “A meeting of prominent youth leaders from the six geo-political zones of Nigeria is being summoned to frontally address the recent security challenges posed by Boko Haram.

“The decision was reached at the end of a crucial meeting held by the National Executive Council of the organisation. The proposed meeting would seek to fashion out modalities to pay visits to Northern religious and political leaders to prevail on the members of Boko Haram to embrace peace in agitating for those things that made them pick up arms against their fatherland.
