About us
The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) was established in 1964. It is charged with the responsibility of policy formulation and implementation on issues relating to youth development in Nigeria. It is the umbrella body and the mouthpiece of the Nigerian Youths. It was established and given legal recognition in 1990. The NYCN has three branches; the National, Zonal and the State chapters. The NYCN is also affiliated to the World Assembly of Youth, Pan-African Youth Union. It has the Ministry for Youth and Sports Development as its supervisory body. The NYCN body has been instrumental to many empowerment, scholarship and support programmes.
Collaboration and Teamwork
Youth leaders understand the value of collaboration and work well with others. They build and nurture effective teams, delegate tasks, and encourage participation from diverse perspectives. They recognize that collective effort and cooperation are essential for achieving shared goals.
Resilience and Adaptability
Youth leaders face challenges and setbacks but demonstrate resilience in overcoming them. They are adaptable to changing circumstances and possess problem-solving skills. They view failures as learning opportunities and persevere in their efforts to create positive change.
