35th Anniversary: ADC Youth Leader, Ukuanovwe, Salutes Delta Youths For Resilience, Determination

Rights activist, Nigerian indigenous language advocate and Delta State African Democratic Congress (ADC) Youth Leader, Prince Ukuanovwe Godstime Oj, has saluted Delta youths for their resilience, courage and determination as Delta State marks its 35th anniversary.

Prince Ukuanovwe, in a goodwill message commemorating the 35th anniversary of the creation of Delta State, applauded the peaceful disposition, courage and resilience of young Deltans, describing them as a major force behind the stability and unity of the state over the years.

According to him, the peaceful nature and responsible disposition of Delta youths have contributed significantly to keeping the state together since its creation.

He noted that if Delta youths had consistently embraced violence, division and disruptive tendencies, the state could have experienced serious instability and faced challenges to its unity and development.

Ukuanovwe therefore called on both the Federal and Delta State Governments to make the welfare, interests and development of young Deltans a priority.

He urged the government to create more opportunities for youth empowerment, education, entrepreneurship, skills development and meaningful participation in governance, while aligning youth development initiatives with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“Happy 35th Anniversary to Delta State. Our youths remain our strength, our resilience remains our identity, and our unity must remain our greatest asset.”
