Outgoing Eastern Zonal chairman of the Elders Council of the IYC, Hon. Attenucious Eneyo, who said this during the inauguration of the new Elders Council of the zone in Port Harcourt, said that the organization will not stop its demand for resource control or restructuring of the country.
He, however, said that the group will continue to enlighten the people on the importance of restructuring of the country, stressing that it behoves the newly inaugurated elders council to embark on enlightenment campaign in Ijaw land to educate the people on the benefits of restructuring of the country.

On his part, the chairman Eastern Zone of the IYC, Mr. Sammy George, said that his executive will work with the Elders Council to move the organization forward.
