The Senior Special Assistant to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on Special Duties, Yusuf Kamorudeen, has empowered Ogun State youth with over ₦60 million to boost youth development in the state and across Nigeria.
The empowerment programme involved the distribution of grants to support young entrepreneurs. This initiative includes ₦500,000 each for 50 medium-scale business owners and ₦200,000 each for 100 small-scale entrepreneurs, totaling ₦45 million in direct business support.
In addition, the empowerment programme also supports market women’s empowerment, with ₦200,000 each for 30 market women across Ogun State, as well as student scholarships and innovation grants in the technology sector.
Furthermore, Kamorudeen has demonstrated his commitment to educational development by donating classroom furniture to six primary schools across Ogun State’s three senatorial districts.
Each school received 50 sets of tables and chairs, which will improve the learning environment for 900 students across the beneficiary schools.
“The City Boy Movement, as many of us know, was instrumental in galvanizing grassroots support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the last election.
“We stood firm in our belief in his vision, a vision rooted in inclusivity, development, and renewed hope for Nigeria. Today, we continue that mission not just as supporters but as active stakeholders in driving the success of his policies, right here at the grassroots, where real change begins,” he noted.
The President’s son, Seyi Tinubu, in his speech, described it as a great innovation from the youth wing of the cabinet, noting that everyone should emulate this effort to achieve a better goal with the president.
