Vice-president, south-south of the National Youths Council, Mr Marvin Yobana, has called on Youths in the Niger Delta to support the Federal Government and its programmes towards the attainment of peace in the area.

Speaking in an interview with NAN yesterday in Port Harcourt, Yobana advised the youths to resist any form of provocation and embrace government policies towards finding lasting solutions to the socio-economic problems of the zone.

Yobana, who doubles as the National President, Ogoni Youths Council, also called on youths in Rivers State to support the state government and its policies for it to succeed.

He urged youths in Ogoni to also support both the federal and state governments and resist the temptation that could return the Ogonis to their former warring situation in which they lost prominent Ogoni sons.

The vice-president, National Youth Council told NAN that he had started an enlightenment campaign to sensitise youths in Ogoni to give them proper awareness.
