By Olorunfemi Adejuyigbe
Youths in Ogun State under the aegis of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has declared their total support for the second term ambition of Governor Dapo Abiodun, positing that building economic development can only be achieved through political stability.
The president of the NYCN in the state, Abdul-Jabar Ayelaagbe, gave this position while speaking on behalf of members of the council, on Tuesday, during a courtesy visit to Governor Dapo Abiodun, in Abeokuta.
He expressed the delight of his members over developmental strides of the governor in the state.
“When the time to vote comes, we will speak with our votes. Building economic development through political stability is important, because when there is political stability, there will be economic development. So, Your Excellency, be rest assured of the support of the youth of Ogun State in their large numbers,” he said.
Ayelaagbe, while noting that Governor Abiodun has changed the narrative behind governance by adding human face to administration, noted that the state helmsman has also shown that governance isn’t about talking and boasting about what can’t be achieved.
“Your Excellency, you are leading us rightly. You have reorientated our thinking from what government and administration should be. You have demonstrated that leadership, governance and administration is not by boasting alone, you have demonstrated that there is human face to administration. So, we are learning that from you, we sincerely appreciate the way and manner you are leading us in Ogun State,” the youth leader stressed
He promised that the achievements of the Abiodun-led administration would be well disseminated to the grassroots, churches, mosques and the communities, adding that “youths in the state consider themselves part of the present administration and we are ready to use our structure to evangelize to the people of the state the activities and success of the present administration”.
Ayelaagbe who expressed his delight at the construction of the Agro Cargo Airport in the state, said the ripple effects of the airport would see jobs created for unemployed youths in the state.
He, however, solicited support of the state government in organizing a youth economic summit tagged Ogun Youth Economic Summit (OYES), noting the summit would help youths in the state see other economic opportunities they could tap into.
Responding, Governor Abiodun said that his administration would continue to engage, empower and encourage youths in the state, adding that his administration would continue to give youths the opportunity to contribute their quota to the development of the state.
Abiodun, while noting that youths in the state are intellectuals and forward-looking, promised that his administration would support the staging of the Ogun Youth Economic Summit .
The state helmsman noted that hr would look at the possibility of completing the Youth Development Center, adding that his administration would also look to contributing it’s quota towards the berth of the youth parliament in the state.
Abiodun, therefore, charged the Council to join his administration to tell the story of the new Ogun State.
I Have An Idea For Govt, Families For February 14
-Ajadi
It is February 14, and Nigerian politician, entrepreneur and humanist, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo says he has an idea for governments, organisations and couples that would revolutionise society’s cohesion.
He in fact, has thrown a challenge to these quarters, concerning this year’s St Valentin’s Day, how they should celebrate it differently and more impactfully.
According to him, it should go beyond mere commemorations to heart-felt interventions and legacy projects that improve the wellbeing of people in the society
The entrepreneur-politician said, there could be no better way to join in an event that is synonymous with love, than sinking or implementing projects or programmes that truly touch the lives of the people, changing it for the better.
Sincere affection for the people, he said, should be enough motivation for others holding responsible positions in government, to go beyond tokenism this time but really provide for their people, life-transforming projects and policies.
Even for those who may not have material things to give, Ambassador Ajadi is of the opinion that the season of St Valentine, should motive them to love and care genuinely, shun greed, selfishness, wickedness, materialism bitterness, hate, murder, and the other vices which tend to characterise the society.
It is excellent to see individual lovers sharing cards and gifts at Valentine Day, but how about seeing projects tied to uplifting the people and improving their lifestyles being commissioned and handed over this season as a token of love”, he asked.
Commending organisations and individuals who usually reach out to the underprivileged during St Valentine Day every February 14, Ambassador Ajadi urged them not to relent, as they were fulfilling a great role in society for which they would be rewarded at due time.
“You will agree with me that, if we can imbibe this style of celebration, it will help us to achieve a lot improving the lives of our people, and making the society generally safer.
“It is something that any representative who truly loves his constituency should think about, execute a life impactful project, borne out of genuine love for your constituency that you can deliver during the season of February 14”.
Bemoaning the increasing hardship in the country, he urged Nigerians not to allow them to stop being one another’s keeper.
Ajadi who recently celebrated his marriage anniversary also challenged couples to use Valentina day celebration to renew their relationship.
According to him, families have a lot of roles to play in society even as healthy families will translate to healthy societies and vice versa.
“My admonition to couples is to use this February 14 Valentine’s Day to profess their love afresh to their partners.
“They should remember that they owe each other genuine affection and love, which will also show on their children.
“Let the love professed by St. Valentine on February 14 be seen in their actions towards one another.
“Let couples be there for each come rain, come shine and our society will be better again “.
Bemoaning the rampant cases of ritual killing, kidnapping and murders, he described them also as symptoms of a lack of genuine love in the society
