A delegation of the federal government’s N-Power team, has lauded Governor of the state of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, for massive infrastructure projects embarked upon.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation/Youth Employment in the Office of the Vice President, Mr. Afolabi Imoukhuede stated this while visiting several areas in the State, recently.
It was part of a three-day tour to evaluate the N-Power volunteers and engage stake holders.
Afolabi commended the government, describing the infrastructure turnaround in the state as simply amazing.
“It’s my first time in Osun in a long while, but I must confess, the infrastructure development across the State is revolutionary and simply amazing”, he said.
“The fact that Osun is one of the least earners from the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC), yet has been able to put all these up (referring to the Ataoja Government High School, Osogbo and the nearby November 27 Bridge and interchange), is really commendable,”he added.
Afolabi’s team visited Olorunda Middle School where 25 N-Power volunteers are presently serving.
He also made stops at health centers and some farms settlements on the first day of the tour to interact with the volunteers and stakeholders.
N-Power is the job creation intervention of the President Muhammadu Buhari Social Investments Programme targeted at graduates and non-graduates between the ages of 18-35.
During the last year application process, the State of Osun recorded 24,080 graduate applications out of which 10,041 were deployed to the State in December 2016 as part of the 200,000 graduates employed and deployed by the federal government under the N-Power Job Creation intervention.
