BNYL concluded that the general assembly would also review and adopt its resolution known as the Ekukunela Declaration made two years ago during a Leadership Congress at the Ejagham town of Ekukunelaour in Ikom local government area of Cross River State.
” It was nicknamed Akwa-Cross Declaration following a first Congress at Uyo before that of Ikom where we concluded.
There is the need for entire members to review it if any necessary amendment we will do because it serves as our Organization guidelines, we will also make it public. Therefore, we call on all well-meaning Biagran youths to join us at the General Assembly in Calabar by 12 pm.“
