Ondo Gov. Aiyedatiwa Hints At Appointment Of Commissioner

News Update

Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa has promised to appoint a young person as Commissioner for Youth Affairs very soon, promising more employment and empowerment opportunities for young people in the State.

Aiyedatiwa stated this while responding to issues raised by some representatives of the youth, during an interactive session held at the International Centre for Culture and Events, Akure, on Tuesday.

He also promised to deepen his administration’s efforts in empowering the youth and ensuring a safe, prosperous future for all citizens of the state.

He described young people as the backbone of the state’s development and vital to the success of any meaningful transformation.

According to him, the state government has already begun implementing impactful initiatives such as the payment of WAEC and NABTEB fees for students, scholarships and bursaries for undergraduates, the recruitment of over 2,000 teachers, and the renovation of educational facilities across the state.

“We have provided nano grant as business support to 5,000 youths, engaged 15,000 young people in labour-intensive public workforce programmes, and officially opened Youth Skill Centres across the state under the One-Youth-One-Skill Scheme,” he said.

The Governor also expressed appreciation for the overwhelming support shown by the youth during the November 2024 governorship election, describing their contribution as instrumental to his electoral victory across the 18 local government areas of the state.

On the issue of security, Governor Aiyedatiwa assured that his government is working closely with security agencies to rid the State of criminal elements, saying calm has gradually returned to the State.

He said: “We will not allow criminals to have comfort in our State. Right now, criminal elements who recently strayed into our forests and farmsteads are facing the heat. While we assure law-abiding citizens of protection, we shall continue to smoke out criminal elements that may threaten the peace and security of the State.”

The Governor urged the youth to take advantage of the administration’s policies and programmes and stay away from actions that could derail the development of the State.

“This administration is creating the enabling environment to project the state in good light to attract investors, while alluding to the fact that protest is part of democracy but only after dialogue and negotiations with appropriate government agencies have failed.
