Oyinkuro Wazo

Chairman of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Gbaramatu Clan & Chairman of the Clan Chairmen Forum, IYC Western Zone.

Since assuming leadership in early 2025, Comrade Wazo has redefined the role of communal service through a framework of **Institutional Empowerment**. His mandate transcends mere representation, focusing on the strategic upliftment of human capital across the Gbaramatu Kingdom.

His administration operates on a core belief: that **Education is the ultimate equalizer**. Under his guidance, the IYC has shifted from static advocacy to proactive intervention—founding programs that secure the path to higher learning for every eligible youth in the region.
