Kogi NYCN condemns invasion of BN Ceramics Ajaokuta

The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Kogi State Chapter, has described the invasion of BN Ceramics Company, Ajaokuta by some youths under the guise of Pan African Development Network Network as unacceptable, and called on security agencies to fish out those behind the invasion.

Recall that PAN African Youth Development Network had called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Minister of Labour and Employment to look into the alleged slavery and injustice meted on Nigerian youth by the management of BN Ceramics Nigeria Limited.

The president of PAN African Youth Development Network Ambassador  Habib Muhammad made the call when he  led other members of the organisation to BN Ceramics Company owned by Chinese investors based in Ajaokuta, Kogi State.

Addressing the management of the company after the team toured the production site, Muhammed explained that the visit was borne out of series of complaints received from the workers of the industry.

He lamented that after the tour of BN Ceramics, the group observed a lot of irregularities perpetrated by the management of the company on Nigeria youth whom they engaged as factory workers.

However, Comrade Isreal Alonge, State Chairman of the NYCN, while speaking registered the displeasure in a press conference on Thursday, described the activities of Pan African Development Youth Network as alien to youths of Kogi State.

He described BN Ceramics Company Ajaokuta as a company that has impacted the host communities in Kogi, lamented that some persons not resident in the state would with the military and policemen, in a Gestapo manner, invade a business concern for no just cause.

The state chairman of the NYCN said it is taking a position on the matter because of the hundreds of youths who are engaged in BN Ceramics.

He alleged that forceful demand of N10million by the Pan African Development Youth Network, but later collected N2 million, and demanded monthly 10 per cent return as unfortunate.

The chairman called on security agencies to uncover those behind Pan African Development Youth Network.
