The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday ordered the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to restore the registration of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN).
In a judgment delivered by Justice Binta Nyako, the court also disbanded the Interim Management Committee (IMC) that the CAC and the Ministry of Youth Development had constituted to oversee the council’s affairs.
The court declared the IMC unlawful, holding that the CAC, as a regulatory agency, lacked the statutory power to determine the tenure of an organisation’s leaders or to constitute an interim management body for any registered association.
