G Holds Annual General Meeting, harps on Insecurity, Youth Empowerment, Job Creation and Kwara South Leaders’ Engagement.

It was a very interactive and engaging session today at Igbomina House, in Ganmo as Kwara South Youth Development Organization (KWAYORG), held her Inaugural Annual General Meeting.

The gathering was majorly Youth centred and created an Avenue to review the activities of the Organization, burning salient issues in the region, especially on insecurity, Job Creation, and Leadership Engagements, for the progress and growth of the region.

Another notable issue reiterated was the need for the revitalization of Technical Schools in Kwara South, as all available technical institutions had gone moribund.

The AGM explored the platform to unveil its Board of Trustees, which includes Oloriewe Raheem Adedoyin, Prince Gbenga Ogundele, Miss Fasilat Rafiu amongst other appointed BOT members that were unavoidably absent.

Also unveiled at the AGM, was Elder Oyin Zubair as the Organization Patron.

The AGM reviewed some of the shortcomings of the previous events of the organization, and appointed 5 new committees to oversee the affairs of the Organization and expand its scope of operation.

The Committees include Media, Membership Drive, Finance, Convention and Community Development Committees respectively. The Committee members were inaugurated by the Hon member representing Irepodun LGA at the State Assembly; Hon Tayo Awodiji, who charged the appointees to see their appointments as a call to duty and not a jamboree.

The Media team comprises Suleiman Garba, Saeed Tijanni, Balogun Jamiu, Ajao Adeyemi Ayodeji, David Maxwell, Adeyemi Daniel and Ishola Adeniyi 

Members of the Membership Drive Committee includes Fatoye Babatunde, Abigael Taiye Oladimeji, Saeed Tijanni, Adewumi Adekunle James, Adebisi Suleiman(Sureman), Ogundele Kehinde and Afolayan Samuel.

The Convention Committee includes Ajide Balikis Adenike, Otunba Kenny Adedayo, Comrade Kayode Adebayo, Comrade Adeyanju, Comrade Aniyikaye Ibukun and Oyindamola Qudus.

The President of the Organization; Barrister Titilope Akogun urged the new Committee members to use the opportunity to prove that Kwara South has lots of talents and we are ripe to cause unprecedented change as young people in the region, while also urging Kwara South young people to focus more on entrepreneurship and reduce their involvement in political discussions or bickering that would not serve them any benefit in the present and in the future, urging them to either acquire digital skills and be prepared for employment opportunities that would come their way, or be entrepreneurs towards self sustenance and be security conscious in their respective localities.

The President as well assured the youths present, that as discussed and challenged at the AGM, the leadership of the Organization would begin to engage all stakeholders in the region in a different dimension with the support of the BOT members of the organization.

Resolutions were urged to be worked upon to ensure all notable contributions at the AGM are further put into action for the development of the region.

The SA New Media to the Executive Governor; Olayinka Solace, gave the Vote of thanks, charging young people to subscribe to the policies and programs of the AbdulRazaq AbdulRahaman administration for our young people to grow in their expectations of a Kwara that works for all.

WE DO NOT WANT WAR IN KWARA SOUTH!

16th, August 2021

KWAYORG Press Release:

*WE DO NOT WANT WAR IN KWARA SOUTH!*

In spite of the increase in the rate of insecurity, most especially Kidnapping, which has become one of the latest security problems ravaging our region, Kwara South,  We admit that the situation has become worrisome and appears to have gotten to its peak.

We, at Kwara South Youth Development Organisation (KWAYORG) feel disappointed with the level at which kidnappers have taken Kwara South to be a haven to perpetrate their ungodly acts. 

Just few days ago, we learnt about the death of  Ayo Alabi, of Titcombe College, 1976 set, who was kidnapped around OKE Onigbin. The Kidnappers demanded for a ransom of 4.5million. Only for us to know that he was already battered beyond medical redemption, and later died while being attended to in Hospital, even though the ransom was paid.

We have also learnt of other kidnappings along Ekiti and Omu aran Road, involving about 5 victims before the unfortunate kidnapping on Saturday 7th August, 2021, around Oke onigbin, along Omu-aran road, kwara State, by name Engr Ayodele Alabi.

 The Kidnappers demanded a ransom of #30 million. After concerted efforts, the family members were able to raise #4million.

Unfortunately, the victim had already been battered and brutalized by the kidnapers even while preparation on getting the money delivered was on going. The victim had his last breathe and died in the hospital on Friday 13th August, leaving his poor daughter and wife behind.

These incidents calls for serious attention from the Government and security Agencies. We need the security agencies to be on top of their game and be responsive, not just claiming glory for cheap release of victims after the deed has been done.

 What is the essence of claiming glory on what keeps on occuring? Why celebrating release of victims when you can't nab the perpetrators?.

This is really embarrassing!

 We are charging both the Government and security Agencies to take immediate,  adequate and pro - active steps to curtail the spate of insecurity, kidnappings ravaging our communities and ensure that all forms of criminalities are put to an end.

We are really sad, and this is devastating!

There are lots of security Agencies on that same road and this had never curbed the increasing spate of kidnappings on that road.

All we demand for, is a re - alignment and re - adjustment of the security architecture of Kwara South to curb herdsmen and Kidnappers from raping our residents of their endowments.

The primary responsibility of Government is Security. If the Government fails in this wise, we would resist every attempt of security Agencies arresting our residents to be taken to Abuja when residents take laws into their hands to resist the Kidnappers and ravaging herdsmen!

The Government and all relevant Security stakeholders should as a matter of utmost importance sit up and proffer lasting solutions to decisively deal with all forms of insecurities ravaging our communities.

Thank you.
