“I am honoured by this appointment and fully committed to building a strong, inclusive and purpose-driven City Boy Movement in Bayelsa State, aligned with our national vision,” he said.
According to the letter conveying his appointment, Blankson will serve as the principal representative of the Movement in Bayelsa State and is expected to coordinate activities in line with guidance from the National Secretariat.

With the new appointment, attention is expected to centre on expanding programmes that foster entrepreneurship, capacity building and constructive social involvement among youths in Bayelsa.
The Movement reiterated its commitment to nurturing future leaders and creating opportunities for young Nigerians to contribute meaningfully to national development through education, engagement and empowerment initiatives.
