Emetu to Ohafia Youth Leaders: Put Ohafia First, Embrace Unity and Selfless Service

The Deputy Governor of Abia State, Engr. Ikechukwu Emetu, FNSE, has charged the new leadership of the Ohafia Improvement Union (OIU) Youth Wing and youth leaders from across Ohafia Clan to put the collective interest of Ohafia above personal interests and work together to advance the development of the area.

Emetu gave the charge on Saturday when he received the leadership of the OIU Youth Wing and Ohafia Community Youth Leaders at his residence in Amaekpu, Ohafia.

The meeting was convened to felicitate the newly elected leadership of the OIU Youth Wing and provide an opportunity for greater collaboration among the various youth leadership structures in Ohafia.

Emetu urged the leaders to recognise that their positions are a responsibility and a call to service, rather than an avenue for personal advantage.

He specifically charged them to protect the integrity, dignity and interests of the Ohafia people, irrespective of community affiliations, and to demonstrate maturity, fairness and selflessness in the discharge of their responsibilities.

The Deputy Governor said stronger collaboration among the youth leaders would be critical to promoting peace, security, unity and development across Ohafia.

Responding, the National President of the OIU Youth Wing, Chief Ukariwe Godwin, and the Home Branch President, Hon. Ume Kalu, who spoke on behalf of the youth leaders, thanked the Deputy Governor for the warm reception and for his continued support and affection for Ohafia sons and daughters across the various communities.

They pledged to work hand in hand with the community youth leaders to promote peace, strengthen unity and build a safer and more prosperous Ohafia for all.

The engagement underscored the importance of a united youth leadership in driving positive change and ensuring that the collective aspirations of the Ohafia people remain at the centre of community development.

The meeting was attended by the executive members of the Ohafia Improvement Union Youth Wing, as well as youth leaders from the various communities across Ohafia Clan.
