The commission had on October 6, 2025, withdrawn the NYCN certificate of registration that had earlier been issued on October 28, 2020.
A 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) and reinstate Ambassador Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo and other members of its Board of Trustees (BoT).
The court also directed that the interim management committee led by Buhari Shehu, appointed by the CAC and the Ministry of Youth Development to oversee the affairs of the council, be immediately disbanded, declaring its constitution and continued operation unlawful.
Justice Binta Nyako, who delivered the judgment, held that the CAC, as a regulatory agency, lacks the statutory powers to determine the tenure of leaders of an organisation or constitute an Interim Management Committee for any registered association.
The commission had on October 6, 2025, withdrawn the NYCN certificate of registration that had earlier been issued on October 28, 2020.
