Members of the umbrella socio-cultural body of all Igbomina youths and youth groups in Igbominaland, the Igbomina Youth Assembly (IYA), have commended development efforts of the present administration in Kwara State, especially on appointment of competent indigenes of the area.
The group, in a statement by its president, Jimoh Rasheed Temitope, said that a case study is the siting of the College of Nursing Sciences at Oke-Ode, an Igbominaland in Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state.
“It is clear that siting of tertiary institution is one of the major factors that do cause speedy development in the host community and we want to say that Oke-Ode has not been an exception. On behalf of Oke-Ode community and the entire Igbominaland, we are grateful for this,” he said.
The people, who also appreciated Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq for his disposition and passion towards the youth and their development, said such was demonstrated through policies, patronage and engagement in governance.
“We want to say that appointment of the incumbent College Provost, Mr. Quadri Olanrewaju Lamidi since October 2022, is a blessing to the College and Oke-Ode community at large,” he said, considering the innovation and developmental strides the College has received through him since his assumption of office as the College Provost,” he said.
The people, who said that the shock of loss in the bid to host the Kwara State University of Education in Igbomina was still being felt, adding that it became imperative for them to guide, monitor and protect the few ones they have at hand.
