Great Plateau Youths! You will recall a Press Release on 23-03-2020 for the suspension of all youth activities and gatherings in compliance with the State and Federal Government directives on the safety measures to COVID-19 which voided the gathering of over 50 persons as one of the means of curtailing the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic bedeviling our beloved Country. A step well thought by the Youth Council leadership in the best interest of Youths and Plateau people as a whole. The COVID-19 pandemic have in a lot way affected and still affecting every sphere of human life, plans are ruined and World Governments devastated as this is not familiar to Nigeria alone. All things being equal, the tenure of present officials of the Youth Council supposedly terminates on May 22-2020. Howbeit, the transition period which is to usher in the new Executives has been hampered as a result of the pandemic and to make the matters worse, the lacuna in the Constitution of the Youth Council as regards what is to be done when faced with such reality. However, the PYC Constitution does not recognized the appointment of a Caretaker Commitee or Interim Government and even tenure extension which poised a great challenge on the outgoing Executive as not to allow a vacuum on the expiration of tenure of their tenure as mentioned above. Thus the drive for the 'Doctrine of Neccessity' have to come in. The Youth Council under the Leadership of Dr. Jemchang Fabong decided not to take any decision but went decided to consult all relevant stakeholders such as; the Central Working Commitee, Representatives of Voluntary Youth Organizations, Executive Chairmen of Local Government Chapters of the Youth Council, Veterans and the State Ministry of Youths and Sports Development, Plateau State as stated in the letter released dated 08-05-2020 and signed by the state Youth Council Chairman Dr. Jemchang Fabong. This singular action have triggered uproars from several quotas rather than the need for Plateau Youths to remain united in the fight against the Coronavirus which is now the major concern in our dear State following the rising number of confirmed cases. Be reminded that, we are dealing with an issue on the Exclusive list of the Council's Constitution and not where the Constitution needs clarity. We as apostles of the Youths must see to the call for tenure extension of the present Executive and other officials as necessitated by the doctrine of necessity. Therefore, a call for our Youths to remain calm, maintain healthy hygiene by observing social distancing, avoid handshakes & contacts with Mouth, Nose and Eyes & regular hand wash as well as the use of hand sanitizers always and other safety measure as directed by the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC). We should also pray for the healing of our dear brothers and sister who have been caught victims of the Coronavirus and for the pandemic too shall pass away. A gentle reminder: to this end, it's only when we are alive that you can entrust us with your mandate and we will deliver in our promise of being a VOICE FOR YOU and also for you to witness that, we delivered in that capacity as the State Chairman PYC. Therefore, stay safe, stay home, stay alive by observing health measures that will bring to an end this Pandemic. Aluta continua! Victoria ascerter. COMR.
