The Northern Christian Youth Professionals (NCYP) has congratulated Senator John Azuta-Mbata on his emergence as the new President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex socio-cultural organisation representing the Igbos worldwide.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Isaac Abrak, the group said: “His (Senator John Azuta-Mbata) assumption of this esteemed role comes at a time when the land of Ndigbo is experiencing notable progress in addressing the challenges of insecurity and violence from various groups.
“We are confident that Senator Azuta-Mbata will leverage his vast experience in public administration and his distinguished service in the Nigerian Senate—particularly on key committees such as Defense, Finance & Appropriation (as Vice-Chairman), and Works & Housing—to further secure the region and drive economic growth for Ndigbo and Nigeria as a whole.”
The statement added that: “There is no doubt about the significant contributions of the Igbo people to Nigeria’s economic strength and global pride, particularly through their entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen. We believe this legacy will continue to thrive and expand under Senator Azuta-Mbata’s leadership.
“The Northern Christian Youth Professionals, a coalition of professionals from the 19 states of Northern Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is committed to improving the socio-economic well-being of our people, fostering religious tolerance, and promoting peaceful coexistence for national development.
“We extend a hand of fellowship to the new President-General and the entire Ndigbo community, pledging our support for initiatives that will advance the collective growth and benefit of all Nigerians.
“We look forward to working together to build a more united, prosperous, and harmonious nation.”
