CAC directed to recognise previous structure

The court’s decision requires the CAC to reverse actions affecting the council’s registration status and recognise the Sukubo-led Board of Trustees as the legitimate governing body of the organisation.

The judgement is expected to bring relief to members of the NYCN who had been following the prolonged leadership controversy.

The NYCN, which serves as an umbrella body for Nigerian youths, has experienced internal disagreements over leadership and administrative issues in recent years.
