Part 4/8:
Dr. Toos Alay, president of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), joins the program from Rivers State. His recent visit to Asari Dokubo, a former militant leader now recognized as a community elder, is central to their discussion. Doctor Alay sees this meeting as a catalyst for change and support for the IYC’s mission, which primarily aims for resource control within the Niger Delta to ensure that local communities benefit from the wealth generated by their lands.
His endorsement by Dokubo is significant, reflecting a broader acceptance and solidarity needed to advocate effectively for youths in the region. This collaboration and recognition by established leaders potentially strengthen the IYC's position as a movement for progress and empowerment.
