“We have successfully resolved all leadership crises and addressed factional divisions across all states of the federation. This achievement has restored unity and strengthened the Youth Assembly of Nigeria,” he declared.
While highlighting the outcomes of YAN’s recent working visit to Lagos, Oluwasegun commended Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for spearheading over 40 impactful projects aimed at infrastructure development, youth empowerment, and human capital advancement.
