The Youth Assembly Chairman in a statement in Ibadan stated that the organisation was quite impressed with Professor Akande’s unique ways of empowering the youths of the state.
According to him, ” Oyo Youth Assembly has been following your activities for some time and we are quite impressed with the uncommon ways you have been doing what you are doing for the youths of the state even as a non elective public office holder.
“We are aware that before now,many young people in Oyo state have been nominated for training on Information and Digital Technology and scores have secured appointments in federal agencies and institutions through your intervention .
“For us,as an organisation,we had deemed it fit to commend Professor Akande so as to encourage him to do more for young people and also to inspire other public office holders to take a cue from him. We no longer want politicians to distribute motor cycles and grinding machines for us as empowerment”, he added.
