There are battles you win by fighting, and there are battles you win by simply refusing to participate. The Voices of Ondo will be available free of charge to online readers from Friday.
#TheVoicesOfOndo
The Voices of Ondo is a collection of my thoughts, experiences, convictions, and lessons from my journey through advocacy, leadership, public service, and life. I wrote it to preserve these reflections and inspire meaningful conversations that can shape a better society. This book is not for sale and will never be available in bookstores. It is my personal gift to people I meet, friends of the brand, and those who have been part of my journey. If our paths cross and copies are still available, I will be delighted to autograph one for you.
“Why We Are Still Borrowing money even though all the agencies are exceeding their revenues”
Finance Minister Defend Tinubu's Government During Senate Hearing after being questioned about all Nigerian money is going and why they still kept on borrowing
Today, I had the pleasure of receiving the Future Assured Excellence Award from Future Assured with Tinubu. I am grateful for the recognition, which I see as further encouragement to keep working for the growth, inclusion and progress of young Nigerians.
I also received the team from Octoville Development Company Limited for a useful discussion on areas of shared interest. Every engagement is an opportunity to listen, build partnerships and explore practical ideas that can open more doors for Nigerian youth.
#RenewedHope
Today, I joined sons and daughters of Akure at the Akure-Speaking Communities’ Development Summit 2026 with a simple message: the future of Akure is a responsibility we all share.
Government must do its part, but we must also ask ourselves: what are we doing for our own community? This is the spirit behind my support for the Light Up Akure Project, because we should not only complain about darkness when we can help provide light.
I also spoke directly to my fellow young people: our contribution to Akure must go beyond politics, support for politicians and arguments on social media. We can do more. Our success should be measured by how our individual progress contributes to collective progress.
The future we seek is a smart, inclusive and progressive Akure-speaking community where no one is forgotten; where young people have a voice, women have opportunities, elders are respected, businesses grow, streets are safe, the environment is clean, and development reaches every part of our communities.
Indeed, working together, I believe we can build a future of greater progress and greater glory for Akure land.
It is a pleasure to receive the top management of the Nigerian Institute of Management in my office today as I was presented with a Chartered Membership Certificate. The engagement was both symbolic and practical, reinforcing a shared commitment to strengthening professional standards and advancing effective leadership in public service.
This milestone carries added significance. It underscores the importance of institutional discipline, strategic management, and ethical governance in shaping policies and programmes that empower young Nigerians. Strengthening my professional grounding in management directly supports the broader mandate of delivering structured, impactful, and accountable youth development initiatives across the country.
I remain grateful for this recognition and the continued partnership in building stronger leadership capacity for national development. Thank you, NIM.
