In his speech, Charles Olufemi Folayan who was represented by his SA on Youth and Students Affairs Comr. Ajiboye Samuel Femi narrated his experiences in the student struggle and encourage the students to keep pushing forward against all odds.
‘I started like you 20 years ago, from Ekan-Nla Student Union to Federation of Oke-Ero Student Union, to National Association of Kwara State Students, to the Student Union Government of Federal Polytechnics Ede, to Igbomina/Ekiti Youth and Kwara Youth Stakeholders Forum.
Just like you, I was committed and driven by passion for the development of our land against all odds. You can imagine your experiences in sourcing for funds to sponsor programmes, to get asses to student bursary or even to have audience and attention of political office holders.
“In the real sense, younger people should have more attention from the political and economic leaders for mentoring and support. Because your level of knowledge, skills and character today would determine the future of our communities and state. “We can’t build the future for the youth, we can only build the youth for the future”
Folayan vows to secure the right of the youth and students when elected, says he is prepared to restore, reform and rebuild Igbomina/Ekiti communities.
“Igbomina/ekiti land is blessed with great people and historically rich communities, it’s the lack of visionary and focused political leadership that has kept our people in abject poverty and many of our communities in deserted status. However, I have drawn out a blueprint to rebuild our communities, reform the people and restore the lost glory of our constituency, when elected.
He congratulated the student for a successful program.
