Youth Activity Dashboard will Place the Youth at the Heart of the Country's Development Agenda- SA to the President on Youth Initiatives, Oloye Titilope Gbadamosi:

The Special Assistant to the President on Youth Initiatives (Monitoring and Delivery), Oloye Titilope Gbadamosi has stated, that the newly unveiled Youth Activity Dashboard will place Nigerian youths at the heart of development agenda of the present Renewed Hope administration.

Honourable Titilope Gbadamosi made this known, at the launching of the 'Youth Activity Dashboard', held at the Rotunda Hall, 2nd Floor Ministry of Foreign Affairs Abuja, Tuesday 17th December 2024.

Speaking at the event, the former Consultant (Research and Documentation) to the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, said the “technological milestone” would place the youth at the heart of the country’s development agenda.

“With over 60% of Nigeria’s population under the age of 25, our young people represent the greatest opportunity for growth, innovation, and leadership,” she said.

“The Youth Activity Dashboard is not merely a platform, it is a transformative tool that will revolutionize how we:

Track and monitor – aggregating data on youth-focused projects from MDAs, the private sector, and development partners.

Analyze and evaluate – providing real-time insights to measure the impact and relevance of these initiatives.

“However, this potential can only be harnessed when youth-focused initiatives are effectively designed, implemented, and monitored.

“By identifying successes and gaps, we can amplify what works and course-correct what does not, ensuring no young person is left behind.

“I must commend our MDAs for their dedication and efforts in implementing youth development programs across sectors such as education, employment, health, technology, and agriculture.”

The platform https://yid.fmyd.gov.ng/ will not only ensure that there is transparency in the manner in which young people are empowered across the country, but will also help in tracking programmes for young people in the various Ministries, Departments, Agencies (MDAs) and other government parastatals, as well as creating opportunities for them.

Present at the event, are  dignitaries, including the Special Adviser to the President (Media and Public Communication), who is also the former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Chief Sunday Dare CON FNIS, Minister of Youth Development Mr Ayọ Olawande, National Youth Leader All Progressives Congress (APC) Mr Dayo Israel, amongst others.

_Directs LG Chairs to Open another Account to receive Funds_ In another turn of events, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, has deviced another way to swindle Local Government funds. 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.

This could be part of the outcome of the meeting held with the LG Chairmen on Monda...

Federal Polytechnic Ayede- Administrative Recklessness and Allegations of Embezzlement:

Image
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...
