The Osun State Government had dissolved the Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme,O-YES, announcing the creation of its on own scheme named “Imole Youth Corps.”
Recall that the O-YES which empowers 20,000 volunteers across the State’s 31 Local Government Areas including the Ife East Rea Office, was introduced by the then Governor Rauf Aregbesola in fulfilment of his manifesto promise.
In a circular issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Hon Teslim Igbalaye, the State Government said the decision was taken to reposition the Youth empowerment programme inherited from the previous government for effective functionality, sustainability and dignity of labour.
“In fulfilling one of the electoral promises of His Excellency, the Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke in ensuring meaningful and proper youth Engagement in the state, a new Scheme code named Imole Youth Corps is hereby put in place to engage our teeming youths in the state.
“Application forms will be available for prospective youths in all the 30 LGs including Ife East Area Office of the State FREE of charge beginning from Friday, 17th February, 2023.”, the statement noted.
However, the State Government has announced the sale of free application form which will be available from February 17th,2023.
