The African Democratic Congress has announced the appointment of a former President of the National Association of Nigerian Students, Chinonso Obasi, as its Deputy National Youth Leader.

A statement issued by his office on Thursday described Obasi as a seasoned youth development consultant and humanitarian. Obasi is known for his boundless benevolence and commitment to youth advocacy.

The statement partly read, “Obasi previously served as National President of the National Association of Nigerian Students, Regional Coordinator for the South-South, Southeast Coordinator of NANS, and Student Union President. He also made history as the Pioneer President of the Nigerian Youth Union and represented Nigerian students at the 2014 National Confab.
