“Ondo APC Applauds Olawande for Empowering 500,000 Youths”
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akure South Local Government Area of Ondo State has praised the remarkable work done by the Minister of State for Youth Development, Hon. Ayodele Olawande. Since taking office, Olawande has made impressive strides in youth empowerment, impacting over 500,000 young Nigerians through various skill acquisition programs across the country.
During a recent party meeting, the APC leadership in Akure South expressed immense satisfaction with the Minister’s efforts. Dr. Akinmolayan Fesobi, APC Chairman for Akure South, revealed that the party had carried out an independent assessment of Olawande’s performance over the past year. The assessment highlighted the Minister’s achievements, which exceeded expectations.
Empowering Youths for a Brighter Future One of the major highlights of Olawande’s tenure has been the launch of the “One Youth, Two Skills” initiative, a program designed to equip young Nigerians with multiple skills to enhance their employability. This program alone has reached over 500,000 youths, providing them with valuable training in areas such as digital literacy, entrepreneurship, and vocational skills.
The Minister has also secured partnerships with private sector organizations, leading to the injection of N10 billion in funding for youth development initiatives. These collaborations have created opportunities for skill acquisition and job creation, laying the groundwork for a more empowered and self-sufficient Nigerian youth.
In addition to his local initiatives, Olawande has successfully advocated for policies that promote youth inclusion in government. His efforts have resulted in a 30% increase in youth representation in various levels of government, ensuring that young Nigerians have a voice in decision-making processes.
Youth Development Centres and Mentorship Programs Olawande’s impact extends beyond skill acquisition. He has overseen the establishment of 20 Youth Development Centres across Nigeria, which serve as hubs for young entrepreneurs to access training, resources, and mentorship. These centres have provided young people with the tools they need to start and grow their own businesses, thereby reducing unemployment and fostering economic growth.
Another notable initiative is the National Youth Mentorship Scheme, which pairs 50,000 young Nigerians with industry experts in various fields. This program not only boosts employment but also provides invaluable guidance and support to aspiring professionals.
In collaboration with international organizations, Olawande has also created 100,000 job opportunities for Nigerian youths, further strengthening his legacy as a transformative leader in youth development.
APC’s Vote of Confidence in Olawande and Governor Aiyedatiwa The APC in Akure South is fully supportive of Olawande’s initiatives. According to Dr. Fesobi, the Minister’s leadership is seen as a beacon of hope for the future of Nigerian youth. The party has endorsed his continued service, urging Nigerians to rally behind his vision for youth empowerment.
In addition to praising Olawande, the APC also passed a vote of confidence in Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State. The governor, who has been in office for just nine months, has already achieved significant progress in various sectors. The party believes his track record will make the upcoming elections a walk in the park, describing their campaign efforts as “thank you visits” to the people of Ondo State.
As Olawande continues to drive youth empowerment initiatives, the APC remains optimistic about the future, confident that his efforts will contribute to national progress and uplift millions of young Nigerians.
Conclusion Minister Ayodele Olawande’s contributions to youth development have set a new standard in leadership and empowerment. Through skill acquisition programs, mentorship initiatives, and job creation efforts, he has demonstrated that young leaders have the capability to drive positive change in Nigeria. His work has not only impacted individual lives but also laid the foundation for a brighter, more prosperous future for Nigerian youth.”
