Earlier during the week the National Youth Council Of Nigeria (NYCN) Ikeja Local Branch led by the Coordinator, in person of Ambassador Comrade Wale Amole (AKA Asp Osha Nycn). He led other excos to pay a courtesy visit to the newly appointed Senior Special Adviser to the Governor on Civic Engagement, in the person of Ambassador Lijirin Ruth Ayomide.
The meeting started with an opening prayer from Comrade Madu Duru (the Deputy Coordinator NYCN Ikeja Local Branch). The council congratulated her upon her appointment and welcome her to the good office. The council prayed for her and emphasized the willingness to work with her and for her too to work with us in return with her good office.
During the short speech of the NYCN Ikeja Local Branch Coordinator, he stated that the National Youth Council of Ikeja is the closest youth body to SSA to the governor on Civic Engagement as such the council is more than ready to respond to the SSA whenever her office needs her support. The council’s Deputy coordinator reiterate that the SSA to the governor is welcome to the office as the capital of Lagos State and the body is proud that it’s a youth that Mr Governor has appointed into this important office.
The PRO, Comrade Omogenafe Blessing, salute the SSA on her sagacity that has brought her thus far. noting that, insults and ridiculous things are obviously going to come to her but she should use them all as a stepping stone to do more for the youths through her office.
She wished her well and prayed that this is the beginning of her glorious future, as more is to come for her. As a woman, she didn’t fail to use her voice to speak for the female gender, that empowerment, employment opportunities and other forms of opportunities should be generously extended to the females. In this light other female excos echoed this request on behalf of the larger female youths of Ikeja.
The SSA to the governor on Civic engagement in the person of Ambassador Lijirin Ruth Ayomide responded by saying she’s pleased to receive the Youths of Ikeja and she’s ready to use her good office to cater for the good of Lagos Youths in general, not forgetting Ikeja Youths in all of it. She encourages all youths to be duly engaged in something productive. She noted that she’s been dutifully engaged in other endeavours that’s why the governor saw value in her to be appointed.
Furthermore, the courtesy visit yielded good results as SSA to the Governor on Political Matters in the person of Hon Balogun Saheed joined the discussion noting that he’s also a youth from Ikeja, specifically from Agidingbi. Noting that he won’t forget “home” by extending good things that his office has to offer to the youths of Ikeja too.
While the meeting was coming to a halt, the SSA to the governor on Youths Development and Mobilization in person of Hon Alabi Opeyemi Oladimeji came in. He was happy to be in our midst and noted that he’ll be willing to welcome our visit whenever we reach out.
