THE National Youth Council (NYC) on Tuesday set up a three-member Interim Management Committee (IMC) to run its affairs for the next three months as plans are underway to appoint a substantive national co-ordinator for the council.
They are Messrs Reverend Calvin Agbotse, Mr Simon Amanor Sackey, both members of the board and a representative of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) and Mr Kofi Okran, a senior lecturer at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).
Among their terms of reference is to assess the efficiency of the existing operations of the council and identify bottlenecks that impede its efficient functioning, initiate steps to improve the functioning of the council and any other functions that the board may assign.
The Deputy Chairman of the NYC board , Alhaji Mahama Adam, who administered the office of allegiance and secrecy said the IMC was primarily mandated to improve and revitalise the operations of the council.
He explained that the board had in recent times noticed some level of laxity in the mandate of the NYC in view of the fact that the youth of today unlike those in the past were increasingly becoming a liability to the society as a result of immorality and other social vices.
Against that backdrop Alhaji Adam said since the NYC was mandated to formulate policies towards ensuring that the youth became useful to the state the council was putting in place the necessary structures to make itself relevant in the discharge of its duties.
He called on members of members of the IMC to use their tenure, which was subject to renewal, to come out with a comprehensive structure to advance the cause of the council.
A member of the IMC, Rev. Calvin Agbotse, on behalf of his colleagues, thanked the board for reposing confidence in them and gave the assurance that they would work assiduously to help realise the vision of the NYC.
