However, in a bid to make room for peace and harmony, the leadership of NYCN has “extended a grace period of four day ultimatum for the government of South African and the embassy of South Africa in Nigeria, to put heads together and lay the matter to rest. Failure to do so, the apex youth body; which is in control of over 70 million Nigerian youths, is more than ready to embark on a nationwide protest. We are ready to march against South Africans and their businesses in Nigeria, without any further delay.
“The recent killings and destruction of properties owned by Nigerians by South Africans is not acceptable and the youths are not going to fold their arms and do nothing about it. Every chapter of NYCN in all States and Local Government Areas in the country, are on standby for a signal from their President, Amb.
