… Confer on him the title of Grand Commander of Nigeria Youths.

The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider Yahaya Bello for higher national responsibility in his administration as Bello completes his tenure as governor of Kogi State on January 27th this year. The council said the governor who is a committed APC stakeholder has displayed unalloyed loyalty to the party and commitment to national development and cohesion.
