The Bayelsa State Government has inaugurated a ten man committee with a mandate to reconcile the two leadership factions existing in the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, and ensure a peaceful enthronement of a single executive council that would be acceptable to all critical stakeholders, leaders and elders of the Ijaw nation.
Governor Seriake Dickson who gave the charge while inaugurating chairman and members of the committee in Government House, Yenagoa, said the committee is to identify the root causes of the conflict between the factions in the Council which led to the unfortunate emergence of a parallel executive council of the IYC.
Governor Dickson who decried the crisis that led to the emergence of two factional executive councils in the Ijaw Youth organization, described the development as worrisome and urged the committee to advice government as to how the Ijaw nation could best deal with forestall future recurrence.
He called on members of the committee to also provide a platform for mediation and reconciliation of the factions that had arisen and make recommendations as to how the IYC could avoid such situations in future elections of the council.
Responding, Chairman of the Committee, Chief Joshua Fumudoh, assured that the committee would do its best to reconcile both factions within the IYC.
