EYP Speaker Commends Gov. Fayemi's Commitment to Youth Development, Seeks More Inclusion, Youth Empowerment

The Ekiti Youth Parliament Speaker, Rt. Hon. Toba Ayo Fatunla, has lauded the Ekiti State Governor, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi, over his commitment to youth development in the state.

Fatunla expressed his gratitude in his congratulatory message to the Governor, on the occasion of the third anniversary of his second term in office.

He hailed the Governor for his achievement in the area of youth development, adding that his administration has created a conducive atmosphere for youths to grow in the state.

Fatunla, in what he described as a testament to youth development under the watch of Gov. Fayemi, said that Ekiti youths currently take the lead in all youths' engagements in the country.

"His Excellency has created an enabling environment for youths to thrive in Ekiti State, little wonder Ekiti youths take central stage in Nigeria. For instance, the Speaker of Ekiti State Youth Parliament is the Chairman of the conference of State Youth Parliament Speakers in Nigeria, the President of NANS in Nigeria is from Ekiti, the President of all Female Students in Nigeria is from Ekiti.

His Excellency created a special ministry for the youth and has created many impactful programmes since its inception for the youths", he noted.

According to the speaker, against the backdrop of political ties, "Ekiti State is a project that every leader in the state is expected to add his/her bricks", noting that Fayemi has not only done well in the area of youth development but also impacted every other aspect of the state.

While appreciating the Governor's level of appointments of youths in the state, he craved for more strategic inclusion of youths in governance, stating that youths are the greatest assets of the state.

Fatunla was quoted as saying that: "Recently, His Excellency sent a reply to Ekiti Youth Parliament in a letter specially addressed to me. The letter detailed his response to series of requests we made on how to better engage Ekiti Youths for maximum productivity. When some of these things are implemented, Ekiti will ultimately progress...

While we appreciate the level of appointments amongst the youths, we shall continue to ask for more strategic inclusion in governance, more engagement, empowerment, and employment; for the youths are the greatest investment and Ekiti's Prime Assets."

CITIZENS’ RIGHT AND POLICE INJUSTICE IN NIGERIA

By: Ebo Emmanuel Police Injustice mostly used to refer to various human rights violations by police which might include beatings, racial abuse, unlawful killings, torture, or indiscriminate use of riot control agents at protests. At its worst, unlawful use of force by police can result in people being deprived of their right to life. If police force is unnecessary or excessive, it may also amount to torture or other ill-treatment. Unlawful force by police can also violate the right to be free from discrimination, the right to liberty and security, and the right to equal protection under the law. In countries with high rates of killings by police, there is often a combination of factors including inadequate laws, racial or other forms of discrimination, insecurity or conflict, and entrenched impunity. Governments who routinely trample on other human rights like freedom of expression and peaceful assembly often a...

Individual Greed Responsible for Ekiti Current Sordid Realities - Oni

Engnr Segun Oni By: Williams Esan A former Governor of Ekiti State, Engnr. Segun Oni, has attributed the current sordid realities in the state to individual greed, incompetence, insensitivity and political dictatorship. The Elder Statesman made the disclosure while hosting the peoples' democratic party, PDP leaders across the state, at his residence in Ifaki-Ekiti. Engnr.

The FUOYESU stakeholders meeting, held today, ended in abrupt chaos as a result of issues relating to the student Union caretaker committee delegation. Comrade Awe, a member of the SRC, representing the department of demography and social statistics starred up the argument, which hit the wrong cord in the acclaimed faculty Presidents, who also happens to be members of the SUG caretaker committee. He laid claim that a larger number of the current SUG caretaker committee members are Presidents of various faculties in the school, hence, becoming unconstitutional for them to hold two different executive portfolios at the same time, or better still, resign from the former post and handover immediately to their vice Presidents, if they should continue with the current appointment. The faculty Presidents therefore discredited the claim, owing to the fact that their current appointment was through delegation, and not through electoral activities. They also said that none of them begge...
