Amb. Binebai Yerin Princewill, a Niger Delta stakeholder and immediate past Spokesman of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide, has congratulated Prince Iwefa Aganaba on his appointment as a Member of the Finance/Treasury Directorate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council.
Princewill described Aganaba’s appointment as a recognition of his competence, leadership capacity, dedication and growing influence in political and public affairs, noting that his emergence in the presidential campaign structure represents a proud moment for the Ijaw nation and the Niger Delta region.
He said Aganaba belongs to the category of outstanding young leaders whose accomplishments continue to demonstrate that the Niger Delta is richly endowed with intelligent, visionary and resourceful youths capable of contributing meaningfully to national development and leadership.
According to Princewill, Aganaba has distinguished himself as one of the region’s brightest young minds and a shining example of what purposeful leadership, ambition and commitment to service can achieve.
He noted that the appointment is not only a personal milestone for Aganaba but also a source of pride and encouragement to Ijaw youths and young people across the Niger Delta, who are eager to see more of their contemporaries occupy strategic positions in national decision-making.
Princewill expressed confidence that Aganaba would bring his wealth of knowledge, organisational ability, strategic thinking and commitment to excellence to bear on the responsibilities of the Finance/Treasury Directorate.
He further urged him to see the appointment as an opportunity to deepen his contributions to national development, strengthen the participation of young people in governance and demonstrate that the Niger Delta has capable hands who can deliver in positions of trust and responsibility.
Aganaba’s Global Recognition as African Special Envoy on Youth
Princewill also highlighted Aganaba’s international profile, particularly his appointment in October 2024 as African Special Envoy on Youth by the United World Congress of Diplomats (UN-WCD).
He described the position as an important dimension of Aganaba’s leadership journey, reflecting the growing relevance of youth leadership, diplomacy and international engagement in addressing the challenges confronting Africa.
According to him, Aganaba’s African Special Envoy on Youth position gives his public profile a broader continental and global outlook, placing youth development, international cooperation and the advancement of young people’s interests within the scope of his leadership engagements.
Princewill noted that the combination of Aganaba’s international youth diplomacy role and his appointment to the APC Presidential Campaign Council demonstrates the importance of building bridges between youth advocacy, political participation and national development.
He stressed that Africa needs young leaders who can engage beyond geographical boundaries, articulate the aspirations of their generation and contribute to conversations on economic development, peace, education, innovation and opportunities for young people.
He added that Aganaba’s growing visibility should inspire other young people in the Niger Delta to pursue excellence, acquire relevant knowledge, develop leadership capacity and position themselves for opportunities at local, national and international levels.
Ijaw Youths and Niger Delta Proud of Aganaba
Princewill said the Ijaw nation and the wider Niger Delta have every reason to celebrate Aganaba’s latest achievement, describing it as an encouraging development for a region whose young population possesses enormous intellectual and leadership potential.
He maintained that the Niger Delta needs more young people who can translate their abilities into meaningful representation in politics, diplomacy, business, public administration and other strategic sectors of national life.
He further observed that Aganaba’s accomplishment should encourage a new generation of Ijaw and Niger Delta youths to remain focused, embrace responsible leadership and pursue opportunities that will enable them to contribute to the progress of their communities and the country at large.
While congratulating him on the appointment, Princewill urged Aganaba to remain humble, accessible and committed to the values that have brought him this far, adding that positions of responsibility should be used to create opportunities for others and advance the collective interest of the people.
He also encouraged him to sustain his commitment to youth empowerment and ensure that the aspirations of young Nigerians, particularly those from the Niger Delta, receive adequate attention in conversations about the country’s political and socioeconomic future.
Princewill concluded by wishing Prince Iwefa Aganaba success in his new assignment, expressing optimism that he would justify the confidence reposed in him and continue to make the Ijaw nation and the Niger Delta proud.
He said Aganaba’s appointment should serve as a reminder that the Niger Delta is not merely a region of natural resources but also a home to exceptional human capital capable of making significant contributions to Nigeria, Africa and the wider international community.
