The All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Leader in Ondo State, Comrade Adeyemo Olalekan, has applauded the state Governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, for the recent recruitment of over 2,000 youths into teaching positions across the state.

In a statement he signed, Comrade Adeyemo expressed gratitude to the governor for prioritising employment opportunities for young people.

He also extended his appreciation to party leaders, including the APC State Chairman, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, as well as ministers, senators, members of the House of Representatives, members of the State House of Assembly, and other federal and state government appointees for their continued support of the party’s youth wing in areas of appointments, employment, and empowerment.

While acknowledging these strides, the youth leader called for even greater efforts to expand opportunities for young people.

He emphasised the need for a massive industrial revolution and wealth creation to address the high unemployment rate among youths in the state.

Adeyemo also urged the governor to initiate reforms in the state’s civil service, aligning with the Federal Civil Service Commission’s template to help curtail excessive recurrent expenditures, which he believes are hampering the state’s socio-economic development.

The statement underscored the youth wing’s commitment to advocating for policies that promote employment, economic growth, and efficient governance in the state.
