In August 2022, a 22-member youth parliament representing 11 communities was inaugurated under the EYC structure, with Eferusuoa charging the legislators to develop laws and initiatives capable of advancing Egbema Kingdom. His tenure also featured advocacy on infrastructure, electricity, healthcare, political representation and the development needs of riverine communities. In July 2023, Eferusuoa was identified as President of the EYC in reports concerning the council's position on political representation for Ijaw communities in Warri North.

He described Kelvin as a brother, comrade, community advocate and dependable voice within the Niger Delta youth movement, adding that his contributions to Egbema youth development deserve recognition.
Kelvin City Eferusuoa is a man with an open heart. He is approachable, courageous and deeply connected to the grassroots. His journey reminds us that leadership is about service, sacrifice and the willingness to stand for what one believes is right.

On this special occasion, I celebrate you not only as a fellow Niger Delta youth leader, but as a brother and comrade. May God continue to grant you wisdom, strength, good health and greater opportunities to serve humanity.

Comrade Mingo further prayed that Eferusuoa's new year would bring greater wisdom, expanded opportunities, peace, prosperity and renewed strength to continue contributing to the development of Egbema Kingdom, the Niger Delta and Nigeria.

Egbesu worshippers, what is Asawana

izonbibiworldwide.wordpress.com WHAT IS ASAWANA?* Ijaw Religious and Cultural Studies *By Apostle Bodmas P. Kemepadei, Son of God* This is associated to " *Egbesu Worship*", although, the word itself, is a corrupted version of the root word " *Ossain/Assain Weni-gha?*", which prompts a response of " *Weni-ghe!*" meaning, *it will move and go with us or be potent*. *Assain*, also *Ossain* means, *Oracle, Amulet or Cosmic Energy related to a supernatural entity or deity*. Today, the word *Ossain* or *Assain-wenigha* has been degenerated into " *Asawana*", a new word entirely, created from the existing old one.
