Governor Adeleke dissolves Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme
Governor Ademola Adeleke has dissolved the Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme (O-YES) and replaced it with ‘Imole Youth Corps’.
This is contained in a circular issued by the secretary to the state government, Teslim Igbalaye, on Thursday in Osogbo.
It said the decision was taken to reposition the youth empowerment programme inherited from the previous government for effective functionality, sustainability and dignity of labour.
The circular noted that the replacement was in fulfilment of one of the governor’s electoral promises to ensure meaningful and proper youth engagement in Osun.
“A new scheme code-named Imole Youth Corps is hereby put in place to engage our teeming youths in the state. Application forms will be available for prospective youths in all the 30 local governments, including Ife East area office of the state free of charge beginning from Friday, 17th February, 2023,” the circular added.
OYES was established by former Governor Rauf Aregbesola and sustained by his successor, Gboyega Oyetola, for youth empowerment.
