The Governor told the newly installed executives.

The National President for the CNYC, Fadimatou Iyawa Ousmanou also speaking during the event urged the team to cultivate a spirit of love, patience and hardwork towards a successful mandate. She added that they should be steadfast in all they do. “…be steadfast and remain resistant towards a sustainable emergence of Cameroon”.

She equally used the forum to call on other youths to assist the commissioned executives in realising their goals. “I am calling upon all the youth if the region, members of youth associations or youth movements and members of the executive bureau from the subdivisional/Divisional level should work with the new regional executive to fight against social scourges that young people are facing in the region”. She remarked.
