We are open to collaborations and partnership with governmental and non-governmental organizations and or institutions in making more robust and far-reaching impacts to the targeted population in a given context.
Amongst us are the elite class, business class, students, peasant farmers, school leavers and dropout, tricyclic and motorcycles’ riders, gainfully employed, unemployed, menial job/day pay jobbers, etc.
The association was formed in 2019 and has had two sets of interim or acting leadership before her present leadership led by Dr. Nwankwo Onyechi who were the first elected executives. INYCF is a non-political organization and her leadership is forbidden from using the association as a political platform but can partner any government in power in achieving her aims as may be permitted by her constitution The present leadership is keeping pace with the trending socio-cultural and technological revolution towards achieving a dynamic and sustainable organizational vision, that we do without prejudice!
We are looking forward to a campaign on “catch them young initiative”, where we go to secondary schools and related institutions to innoculate dynamic ideologies on self-building from a scratch-mentality using the available raw materials within your context, citing some of us as examples! This we believe would mould their thinking and help them make right choices both in carrier choices and social development, thereby reducing criminal tendencies. This we believe can help sustain our vision!
