My Adoption by Sports Minister is the tonic I need to excel -ADEGOKE*

 * My Adoption  by Sports Minister  is the tonic I need  to excel -ADEGOKE*

Enoch Adegoke who is  making a statement  with spectacular  performances ahead of the Tokyo Olympics  has  showered  Encomium on the Sports Minister Mr. Sunday Dare for adopting him through  the Adopt a talent initiative.

According to  Adegoke:

"it has been really awesome for me knowing fully well that immediately after the Honourable Minister adopted me, that was the tonic I needed to give out my best in the track and field event. As you can see, I just emerged winner in the race here in Lagos and  Recall that we went to the  United States for Preparations the Olympics,  everything has been working perfectly well and you know we needed money for the camping and the Minister made it available for me by  adopting me. This means all I needed for the training, food, coaches and the rest were taken care of by the  Minister."

" I appreciate him for giving  me the opportunity to be at my best. He adopted me with 10,000 US Dollars. Aside myself, the Minister has been supportive to the Athletes generally and he is a motivator to everyone. He  visited us  in the United states and he's also here at the National Open trials. This shows his passion and interest and the fact  that he cares about our success. All we can do is reciprocate  his gesture with a podium performance in Tokyo"... Adegoke concluded.

Governor Makinde, yet to come to terms, on the Supreme Court ruling over LG Autonomy, has been trying all possible means to ensure that, the funds accruing to the local governments in Oyo State remains under his control. To further sabotage the process of transferring allocations directly to the LG accounts, Governor Makinde has directed all LG Chairmen in Oyo State, to open accounts with First Bank.

Federal Polytechnic Ayede- Administrative Recklessness and Allegations of Embezzlement:

By Aremu Ezekiel Olarinre In the heart of Ogbomosho, the Federal Polytechnic Ayede-Ogbomosho, established in 2022, has come under intense scrutiny as allegations of administrative recklessness and embezzlement of academic funds surface. Despite billions of Naira allocated to the institution over the years, stakeholders are left questioning the tangible outcomes of such investments. Reports indicate that the current Rector, Dr. Taofeek Adekunle Abd-Hameed has allegedly filled key administrative positions with numerous allies, often placing them in roles above other staff with merit. This practice not only raises concerns about favoritism and nepotism but also undermines the morale of meritorious employees who feel marginalized in the institution. The construction of the permanent campus site, which was expected to symbolize progress and development, has stagnated significantly, with little to no visible advancements. The situation is further exacerbated by the alarming collapse of the g...
