The Nigerian Youth Congress was a radical left leaning organization founded in 1960. It was anterior organization to two left leaning and socialist parties formed in the First Republic.[1]
The political viewpoints of Nigerian Youth Congress (NYC) were similar to those of the Zikist Vanguard group and the Socialist Workers and Farmers Party and radicals skeptical about the entrepreneurial politics within NCNC and Action Group found NYC a platform to express their views.[2] Members of the Zikist political outlook and radical socialist oriented groups occupied leadership positions within the NYC.
