The umbrella body of all Northern Youths, Joint Action Committee of Northern Youth Associations (JACOM), has urged the new national executive committee of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), to approach its responsibilities with renewed vigour and pragmatism.
JACOM gave the advise on Wednesday, in a statement signed by its Convener and Secretary, Murtala Abubakar and Israel Musa, and made available to newsmen in Kaduna.
“JACOM is pleased with the smooth transition and change of leadership baton by ACF; the apex Northern Nigeria socio-cultural organisation culminating to last week inauguration of the new national executive committee to pilot the affairs of the organisation for the next three years after the expiration of the tenure of the former minister of agriculture Elder Audu Ogbe.
“The smooth and peaceful transition following the painstaking efforts of the selection committee that produced the current executive team under the chairmanship of Mr. Mamman Mike Osman SAN, is a clear testimony to the commitment of ACF to approach its responsibilities with renewed vigour and pragmatism more than ever before.
“The Joint Action Committee of Northern youth Associations is convinced that going by the profiles of the people that constitute the newly inaugurated executive team, the idea behind the formation of the ACF among other things, to promote peace and unity and engender prosperity in the entire landscape of Arewa on a consultative basis, will be realised”, it stated.
It added that while they look forward to the current leadership vision for the north, the association assured ACF of its total commitment, and that of entire people of the north of our willingness to join hands with ACF’s new executive committee for closer synergy.
According to the association, its commitment would not only to ensure closer synergy that will bring about convergence of energy of the youth and wisdom of our fathers to face our challenges, but also to bring back security, peace, unity and prosperity to our region for hope and better tomorrow, especially in this trying times.
JAMCO therefore called on all Northerners irrespective of tongue, faith, political lineage to unite and give the ACF the needed supports it required to discharge its responsibilities.
