Managing Director of Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, (DESOPADEC), Bashorun Askia Ogieh has charged the Northern Youth Council of Nigeria to formulate programmes that would enhance cohesion among all ethnic groups and to foster democratic ideals in the country. Ogieh, who expressed the need for peaceful coexistence among northerners and southerners, expressed concern about the crises that were being reported in the North and urged Nigerians to focus on factors that bind them together while playing down those that fan the embers of disunity.
Askia spoke at the weekend when the leadership of the Northern Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, paid him a courtesy visit. He said Nigeria must harness its diversity for development, stressing that the unity and peaceful coexistence among tribes in the country was non-negotiable.
