The Arewa Young Leaders Forum (AYLF) has backed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Joseph Utsev, in their quest to provide clean water and sanitation to all Nigerians.
In a statement signed by its president, Alhaji Mohammed Sanusi, the group said the initiatives and innovations introduced by the minister have had a profound impact on the lives of citizens, especially in the northern region.
As soon as he was appointed, the group said Utsev immediately set out to develop surface and groundwater resources for socio-economic development, and to ensure that the president succeeds in making water accessible for citizens and ensuring food security.
The group lauded the minister’s efforts in the North, which has long been regarded as backwards in this area. “Luckily, Utsev’s emergence has changed the narrative,” Sanusi said.

“We are pleased to express our unwavering support for President Tinubu and Minister Utsev’s initiative to tackle the long-standing issue of inadequate access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene in our country.
“The minister’s ‘Clean Nigeria; Use the Toilet’ campaign has been hailed as a laudable initiative that aligns with the international best practice of promoting the well-being and development of young people in the northern region.”
