The event also included perspectives from other notable speakers. Hon. Faith Johnny, Director of Women Affairs, called on NDPYLF to promote women’s empowerment. Mr. Hero Columbus Sanga, an actor known for the Isakaba movie, stressed the value of peace for attracting development. IYC Chairman Eastern Zone, Comrade Datolu SoKubo, advised youth against divisive influences, urging them to support Niger Delta leaders.
