I am Ambassador Dogo Shagari, the National President of the Arewa Youth Council, and I have always remained steadfast in my commitment to speaking out against wrongdoing, regardless of the government in power. True leadership demands courage, accountability, and a relentless pursuit of justice, and I will continue to uphold these principles.
It is crucial that the federal government respects the territorial rights of state governors, ensuring harmony and proper governance across the nation. The Arewa Youth Council, representing the 19 northern states and the FCT, plays a pivotal role in advocating for policies that foster unity, peace, and development.
As we approach the Sallah celebrations—an event that beautifully showcases Nigeria’s diverse cultural heritage—it is a time to reflect on our shared values of peace, justice, and brotherhood. The well-being of Nigerian youth remains a top priority, and we must work together to create opportunities that empower the next generation.
Our unwavering dedication to justice and unity serves as a call to leaders at all levels to prioritize the needs of the people, strengthen national cohesion, and foster a society where fairness and understanding prevail. Now more than ever, we must rise above divisions and build a nation that truly serves all its citizens.
Amb. Dogo Shagari Ejeke
