Oyebanji seeks NASS’ intervention in NYSC camp, Youth development

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. @biodunaoyebanji has sought the assistance of the Senate Committee on Youth Development in providing critical support for the upgrade of the National Youth Service Corps (@officialnyscng) Orientation Camp in the state.

The Governor also appealed to the Committee to develop policies aimed at fostering skill acquisition among Nigerian youths, emphasizing that education without skills in this modern era will put the youths at a disadvantage.

Governor Oyebanji, who stated these in Ado- Ekiti on Friday during a meeting with members of the Senate Committee on Youth Development led by the Chairman, Senator Yemi Adaramodu (@4_adeyemi, @YemiAdaramodu), shortly after their fact finding visit to the NYSC camp in Emure Ekiti.

The Governor expressed concern over the poor condition of the NYSC camp, noting that the facility had suffered neglect over time following the inability of the NYSC to adequately maintain the camp.

The Governor said his government had already commenced rehabilitation efforts which include construction of 45 units toilet and bathrooms in the camp, rehabilitation of the road leading to the camp to curb accidents and kidnappings along the route, as well as giving approval for procurement of utility vehicle to enhance the operation of the scheme in the state. He however urged the Senate Committee members to ensure adequate budget provision for the camp in next year's federal budget, in order to upgrade facilities at the camp.

"I am not happy that NYSC has shifted its responsibility to the state. Ideally both of us should be responsible but NYSC just washed off their hands from their facilities in the state. We are doing our best to fix the road leading to the camp and fix 45 Units of convenience facilities, in addition to other interventions. I implore you to ensure adequate provision for the camp in the next budget so the facilities can be upgraded .”, the Governor said.

Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman Senate Committee on Youth Development, Senator Yemi Adaramodu while appreciating the Governor for his quick intervention during the recent near-disaster in the NYSC camp and his commitment and dedication towards the youth development in the state, said the purpose of their visit to the state was to assess the condition of the camp and identify areas requiring urgent intervention, adding that despite the Sanate being on recess, the visit was prioritized to incorporate the rehabilitation of the camp in the upcoming budget deliberation.

Senator Adaramodu highlighted the significance of their visit to include providing support for the efforts of the state government, while also promising that his Committee would contribute 250 mattresses and chairs to the camp as palliative measures while working on the major intervention.

He also promised to personally facilitate the construction of a new hall as a constituency project and the installation of solar-powered street lights to improve security within the camp.

Also at the meeting were members of the committee- Senator Kenneth Eze , Senator Wasiu Saani Eshinlokun, Clerk of the Committee on Youth Development and Community Engagement, Mrs Ijeoma Chukwuem, Ekiti State NYSC Coordinator, Alhaji Riko Shuabu

Others were Commissioner for Youth Development, Mr Adedayo Gold, Commissioner for Local Government Mr Folorunso Olabode, Special Adviser Media, Mr Yinka Oyebode, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Youth Development, Mrs Sola Adeluyi, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mr Micheal Omolayo

OYEBANJI'S PROJECTS EXCITE EKITI RESIDENTS, PROMISE TO APPRECIATE GOV WITH RE-ELECTION

...Media executives assess ongoing, completed projects

It was commendation galore for Ekiti State Governor, Mr. @biodunaoyebanji Oyebanji, by residents of towns, communities and neigbourhoods where ongoing and completed projects are located during a two-day media tour which ended on Friday.

The tour which commenced on Thursday took general managers of broadcast stations, officials of the state council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), print and electronic arms of the Correspondents' Chapel of the NUJ to the project sites on an on-the- spot - assessment of the projects fact.

The media executives and practitioners felt the pulse of the appreciative locals who sang, danced, and hailed Governor Oyebanji for coming to their aid with projects like roads, channelization of drainages, opening up of new areas, renovation and equipping of schools and hospitals among others.

The tour which cut across the three senatorial districts also gave the journalists the opportunity to ask questions from contractors, consultants, commissioners and special advisers whose ministries, departments and agencies had supervisory roles over such projects.

The journalists also enquired on the quality of materials used for ongoing projects, when they were started, the completion dates and the level of their longevity as well as the cost of the projects. They were taken to some of the completed projects and the impact in the benefiting communities.

Residents of Ilukuno-Ekiti in Ijero Local Government during the tour declared their readiness to reward Governor Oyebanji with re-election for another term in office in appreciation of work done so far on Ilukuno-Ayegunle Road where one kilometer had been tarred out of the 5.6 kilometers stretch of the road.

Led by the Odofin of Ilukuno, Chief Toyin Obabiolorun, they expressed gratitude to the Governor for remembering their community which they described as "long abandoned" noting that although the work is still ongoing, the joy the project has brought to them is "indescribable."

The community leader said his people have resolved to use their votes to re-elect the Governor noting that "he deserves a re-election to encourage him to continue the good work he is doing in Ilukuno and other parts of the state which they are hearing of on daily basis."

"Without mincing words, BAO, our father, deserves another term in office and that is our resolution in Ilukuno and our decision cannot be changed. We appreciate him for the work done on this road because our farm produce used to perish because of the bad condition of the road in the past but the story has changed now," Chief Odofin said.

Also, many residents of neighbourhoods along Faglo-Olorunsogo Road in Ado Ekiti including Ikingbinsin and Irewumi Communities trooped out in their numbers chanting "BAO for Second Term," "Four Plus For," in appreciation of the work carried out on the road including the blaster of the rock at a bend along the stretch to expand the road.

Some of the completed projects inspected during the media tour included the Model Smart School at Ekiti Knowledge Zone in Ijan Ekiti; renovation of dining hall and construction of therapy room at the Special School in Ido Ekiti; 100-capacity hostel at Command Secondary School, Isan Ekiti; ICT Centre and Catering Department at Government Technical College, Igbara Odo; renovated classrooms and ICT Centre at Corpus Christi College, Ilawe Ekiti and GRA 3rd Extension Road in Ado Ekiti.

Ongoing projects inspected included Isinbode-Ara-Ikole Road, Ilukuno-Ayegunle Road, Itapa-Omu-Ijelu Road, Ilawe-Ikere Road, Igbara Odo-Ikere Road, Erekesan Market interior-Ewi Palace Link Road, Ado Ekiti New Town Housing Estate, Ado Ekiti Ring Road Phase One, Indoor Sports Hall and International Centre for Arts and Culture.
