The National Executive Council of the Niger Delta Youth Movement (NDYM) has inaugurated the newly elected leaders of its Ondo State chapter, with Comrade Busayo Julius Ebiniyi formally assuming office as chairman.
The event, held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Thursday, drew youth leaders and officials from across the region.
Ebiniyi emerged victorious at the December 6, 2025 election conducted in Ondo State under the supervision of the NDYM National President and members of the national leadership.
NDYM, one of the foremost youth platforms in the region, focuses on empowerment through ICT, maritime and vocational training, aimed at reducing unemployment, curbing crime and driving sustainable development.
The Movement also advocates good governance, accountability and fair distribution of resources to address long-standing issues of marginalisation in the Niger Delta.
In his inaugural address, Ebiniyi pledged unwavering commitment to the people of the oil-producing communities, particularly the youths, and promised to pursue a leadership style rooted in collaboration and partnership.
He assured that his team would work closely with state and federal agencies, including the NDDC, OSOPADEC, oil companies and other development institutions.
His speech reads, “no doubt, it has been a torturous journey, but we give God Almighty the glory for granting us the courage to face challenges, achieve victory, and preserve us from untoward developments. To this end, I make bold to say that there is no victor, no vanquished,” he said.
He described the day’s ceremony as a major turning point for the Movement, saying, “The inauguration marks the dawn of a new era in our history, one we believe will advance the collective good of the region.”
Ebiniyi also appealed for broad cooperation in delivering on the Movement’s development agenda.
“With a deep sense of responsibility, I appeal to our youths, governments, and stakeholders to worhk with us for the transformation of the Niger Delta Region. It is no news that we face infrastructural deficits and a lack of basic social amenities. The current reality places a heavy burden on our shoulders, and we must deliver by attracting sustainable growth, socio-economic development, and political stability,” he stated.
He expressed appreciation to the NDYM National President and the entire national leadership for ensuring a transparent and credible electoral process in the Ondo State chapter.
