*Edutainment Meets Law Enforcement: Tayo Folorunsho Commends Police for Supporting Youth Leadership Initiatives*

Abuja, Nigeria — Renowned edutainment advocate and youth development leader, Tayo Folorunsho, is calling on Nigerians to reconsider their views of the Nigeria Police Force, encouraging the public to embrace the principle that “the police is indeed your friend.”

Speaking during a recent media engagement, Folorunsho shared his firsthand experience with the police during a recent student-centered event — a mountain hike designed to promote leadership, personal development, and civic responsibility among young Nigerians.

“The police came through for us in an incredible way,” said Folorunsho. “Not only did they provide essential security, they even deployed a helicopter to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their presence and encouragement were deeply impactful.”

He further disclosed that he recently paid a courtesy visit to the Force Headquarters, where he met with Assistant Commissioner of Police ACP Muyiwa Adejobi the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) of the Nigeria Police Force.

According to Folorunsho, the visit was part of a broader initiative to foster stronger ties between Nigerian students and law enforcement.

“Our mission is to educate students on the responsibilities, legal boundaries, and civic role of the police. Far too many youths grow up with a deep mistrust of law enforcement. We believe education and engagement are key to rebuilding that trust.”

Driving Youth Empowerment Through Edutainment

Tayo Folorunsho is a leading voice in Nigeria’s fast-growing edutainment movement — a powerful fusion of education and entertainment aimed at equipping students with real-world skills, civic awareness, and leadership values.

Through his dynamic events — which range from adventurous hikes to tech bootcamps and safety workshops — Folorunsho has impacted thousands of students across secondary and tertiary institutions. His programs often feature strategic collaborations with NGOs, private organizations, and security agencies to create holistic and impactful learning experiences.

With his continued advocacy for law enforcement collaboration and youth empowerment, Folorunsho is redefining how young Nigerians engage with civic institutions — using the power of edutainment to bridge gaps, inspire change, and shape a more informed, confident generation.

Obasa congratulates President Tinubu on second anniversary, commends economic reforms

Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his second anniversary in office. He also commended the bold and transformative economic reforms implemented under the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“It takes ingenuity, courage, and a strong sense of conviction to go through with the reforms initiated by the President, but the whole world can see that these reforms have started yielding manifestly bountiful rewards in the areas of security, infrastructure, and improved investors’ confidence in the economy,” Obasa said.

The Lagos Speaker, in a statement released by his media office, praised President Tinubu’s steadfast commitment to revamping the Nigerian economy through decisive policy actions like the fuel subsidy removal and liberalisation of the foreign exchange market. He highlighted how these policies have helped to stabilise the naira, increase foreign reserves, and reposition the nation’s economic trajectory.

Obasa recalled that previously, fuel subsidies had cost the Nigerian government approximately $10 billion annually, but the removal has led to a significant increase in the monthly disbursement to the three tiers of government by the Federal Account Allocation Committee (FAAC).

“Unlike the situation in the past, we no longer hear lamentations about state governors owing civil servants or asking for bailouts from the federal government. We can only implore state and local government leaders to double up on the execution of vital and viable economic and social infrastructure development projects at the grassroots for the betterment of Nigerians across the social strata,” Obasa said.

He further cited the recent announcement by the World Bank that Nigeria’s economy recorded its fastest growth in about a decade in 2024; and the declaration by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that Nigeria is no longer on its debtors’ list having completed the payment of a $3.4 billion loan borrowed during the COVID-19 pandemic as indubitable proofs of President Tinubu’s economic sagacity and the effectiveness of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

However, he said that every reform comes with responsibility, stating, “Transformative change requires time and collective efforts. The president is not oblivious to the hardships that have trailed these reforms, but he is presiding with a human face.

“President Tinubu increased the minimum wage from N30,000 to N70,000 and also launched the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFund) to provide financial support to over 550,000 students, thereby enhancing access to higher education among other socio-economic empowerment programs. I do not doubt that we are on the right path,” Obasa said.

Speaker Obasa lauded Nigerians for their support and perseverance during the crunch that followed and urged all to remain patient, optimistic, and supportive of the president’s initiatives. He concluded by reaffirming the state House of Assembly’s commitment to collaborating with the federal government to ensure the successful implementation of policies that benefit all Nigerians.
