*Youths Update!*

In a bid to strengthen the relationship with stakeholders and cascade dividends of democracy to the teeming youth of Ikeja, the leadership of NYCN Ikeja ably led by Amb. Wale Amole had a courtesy visit to some youth stakeholders at the state level. They include:

Hon. Ruth Lijirin Ayomide,
SSA Civic Engagement to the Lagos State Governor,

Hon Saheed Balogun,
SSA on Political & Legislative Matters to the Lagos State Governor

Hon. Alabi Opeyemi Oladimeji,
SSA on Youth Development and Mobilization.

The engagement brought robust discussion on how the youth can tap into the provisions of Mr. Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu particularly in this challenging and turbulence time.

They encouraged the youth to get involved and shun aparthy, the government meant well for the citizens but they might not be able to see it in the immediate because it involves process.

This administration is making the youth a priority and we can attest to it, we will continue to canvas more for the youth community but then, the youth community needs to be intentional by getting involved.

Amb. Wale Amole expresses its appreciation for the engagement opportunity even at short notice and busy schedules, he urged the appointed SSA not to forget their constituency as the youth community is willing to throw her weight behind them being one of us.
