It believed that the time is now for President Muhammadu Buhari to act to save the NSCDC from Dr Ahmed Audi, stressing that the service of NSCDC has become a cesspool of corruption and maladministration.
“We as a organised forum (Unified Nigerian Youth Forum) has chosen not to compromise on it’s noble ideals and principles of fighting corruption and individuals who are derailing the Anti-corruption crusade of President Buhari led administration,” the statement stated.

“It should be on record for historical purposes that (UNYF) dissociate and disaffiliate itself from the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), alleging that it has become a willing tool and stooge for corrupt public office holders at the detriment of Nigerians and the current administration,” it concluded.
