NIGERIA'S YOUTH POLITICAL MOVEMENT ENTERS NEW ERA AS OYEFESO INAUGURATES NEW DG AHEAD 2027

A new chapter has opened in the administrative leadership of Nigeria Youths in Politics following the inauguration of Prince OluwaTosin Enikuomenhin as Director General of the organisation.

The ceremony, held in Abuja on Tuesday, 3rd November 2026, represents a renewed attempt by the organisation to strengthen its administrative framework and consolidate its national vision of promoting youth participation in politics and governance.

President Blessing Oyefeso, while addressing the gathering, described the occasion as an important institutional milestone, noting that the organisation's growth since its establishment in 2018 had made stronger administrative coordination increasingly necessary.

She said the decision to appoint a Director General followed an extensive internal process that involved more than 22 directorates, with three candidates eventually shortlisted for final consideration.

The process, according to her, was designed to identify an individual with the leadership qualities, administrative experience and institutional understanding required to coordinate the organisation's expanding responsibilities.

Enikuomenhin emerged as the successful candidate and was subsequently approved by the National Working Committee.

In his address, the new Director General described the opportunity as a call to service and promised to work with the national leadership to strengthen the organisation's internal structures.

He also challenged Nigerian youths to abandon passive political engagement and develop the organisational capacity required to participate effectively in public administration and national decision-making.

He pledged to promote unity, accountability and institutional discipline while calling on young people across the federation to support the organisation's objectives.

As preparations for 2027 continue, the new leadership will be expected to translate its declarations into practical programmes capable of advancing the political participation of young Nigerians.
