Minister of Youth and Sports Development Mr. Sunday Dare has assured that no youth would be denied the opportunity of benefiting from the Youth Investment Fund.
Speaking during a visit to felicitate with the Olubadan of Ibadan Oba Salihu Akanmu Adetunji on his 92nd birthday celebration, Mr. Dare said:”Your Royal Highness, let me congratulate you on the occasion of Your 92nd birthday. I pray that you will live long in good health and sound mind. Forgive me for visiting a bit late since my appointment due to the demands of work and the Covid-19 lockdown. Recall that I had assured you after my apppointment as minister to assist as many youths as possible by creating job opportunities.
The approval of the Youth Investment Fund would lead to the actualization of that promise. As soon as the programme takes off, youths from Oyo State will benefit. I assure you that no effort would be spared to make this a reality”
In his response, the Olubadan said he was very proud of the Minister’s perfomance since his assumption of Office a year ago.
He promised his commitment to ensure that the Minister succeeds in his assignment.
The Minister’s entourage was heralded by singing and dancing, amidst praises from youths who commended him for bringing fundamental changes to the Youth/Sports sector.
