YOUTH EMPOWERMENT OUR TOPMOST PRIORITY.--UBAKALA YOUTH LEAGUE PRESIDENT.



The new President of Ubakala Youth League, Comrade Cyprian Obia has promised to leave an enduring legacy that will be built upon by his successors

Comrade Obia, who was elected president  in a keenly contested but peaceful election held in September, 2022, made this promise in his country home, Nsukwe during a chat with our correspondent.

He assured  his fellow youths  of his determination to live up to the confidence reposed on him at the polls.


"My peers elected me to serve them, thus I must serve them with dignity, integrity and diligence. 

He disclosed that the youth league under his watch in the next three years would execute laudable projects geared at skill development and other employment opportunities

Adding that such programs were critical to the development of the clan  as its future lay in the hands of the dynamic and innovative youths



He enthused that despite paucity of funds, the youth body was able to empowered a lady fashion designer from Amibo,  with a set of sowing machine during the Ubakala day celebration held on 26th December, 2022, just three months after they were inaugurated.  He pledged that within the three years they would spend in office, efforts would be made to ensure that more youths are gainfully engaged



He acknowledged financial constraints to execute these  laudable projects, stressing that this affected their initial plan to empower a good number of youths during the Ubakala Day celebration. He expressed their  readiness  to partner with progressive minded Ubakala people to support with funds to execute their projects

He praised the President General, of Ubakala Improvement Union, (F) Elder Friday Ogbuehi for successfully hosting the 2022 Ubakala day celebration and for piloting the affairs of the union in the right direction. He assured that the youth body would as always continue to cooperate with the leadership of U.I.U (f) till the end of their tenure.

On the coming general election, he said they would mobilise votes for their preferred candidate/ party but they would first of all strike a deal with this candidate on behalf of Ubakala, regarding the benefits the people will derive from him/her in return for their votes

According to him "Our concern is basically what Ubakala stands to gain after the election. We are therefore going to reach a deal with those we will mobilise votes for, regarding the benefits the people of Ubakala will derive from them in return for their votes"

"In this regard, we have  inaugurated the Ubakala Youth Political Forum and we are equally  reaching out to  the powers that be with our demands, which include appointment of more Ubakala personnel to strategic positions of political office in the next government."

"Currently, we have our own Barr. Chris Ezem, the SSG Abia, who has done marvellous well for Ubakala youths.  He has gotten employment and scholarships for many youths from Ubakala. We are hoping if more from Ubakala are appointed in the next adminstration, as we are demanding, the clan will be better off." He said


On who the new President is, he replied "I am basically a young man. Married. A father of three. I live  simple life and try to respect people. I attended Nsukwe Primary School and Ubakala Secondary School, Nsukwe. I plan to further my education, to study Law which is my childhood ambition."

"I have held various offices in both Nsukwe community and the PDP"
