ACN Commends Aregbesola Over Employment

The Osun chapter of ACN says Governor Rauf
Aregbesola has recorded a remarkable achievement with the employment of 20, 000
youths under its Youth Employment Scheme (OYES).

Mr Kunle Oyatomi, ACN Director of
Publicity, Research and Strategy, stated this recently in Osogbo in an
interview with newsmen.

Oyatomi, who was commenting on the one year
anniversary of the Osun Youth Employment Scheme (OYES) noted that Aregbesola
was committed to his promise of creating jobs for the youths.

The Tide’s source recalls that OYES, which
has no fewer than 20, 000 volunteers on its payroll, marked the anniversary
last Saturday at the NYSC permanent orientation camp in Ede, Osun.

The ACN spokesman lauded the governor for
fulfilling his electioneering campaign to provide jobs for scores of unemployed
graduates.

According to him, the scheme has so far
reduced the hardships of many families that have been benefiting from the
governor’s gesture since the past one year.

“When the OYES project started, detractors
vilified it and tried to diminish its value but the more they condemned it, the
more it gets public acclamation.

“The project is only gaining strength as
three or more other states of the federation have replicated it to address
youth unemployment in their areas,” he said.

The source also reports that the state’s
Six-Point Integral Action Plan is to banish poverty, hunger and unemployment as
well as provide good health, functional education and promote peace.
