Fayemi Hails Osun’s Youth Empowerment Programme Ekiti State Governor has hailed the concept and execution of the Osun State Youth Empowerment Scheme (OYES), urging other states to take a cue from the programme. Highlighting the similarities between OYES and the numerous youth empowerment initiatives of his administration, Dr Fayemi said only a carefully thought out programmes of empowerment could help provide gainful employment for the country’s teeming population of young graduates. my comment: A facebook friend directed me to Ekiti State website from where I copied this clip. His argument is that if Fayemi can propose OYES to other States it means it is unique. Haba! politics apart. thousands of graduates with average age of 35 taken home about 7,500 naira home monthly is ridiculous. The allowance has not even been paid for the past three- four months. my conclusion- in the word of Fayemi is - THE PROGRAMME IS NOT a carefully thought out programmes of empowerment THAT could help provide gainful employment for OSUN or Ekiti young graduates. The youth of these States must think twice while voting for their govs in 2014.
