Barely 24 hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) gave her nod on the registration of All Progressive Congress (APC) which was imbroglio with intrigues by some people that do not want the party to be registered, Nigerians from far and near have been pouring congratulatory messages on this history making event.

We asked him what his comment was on the emergence of the new APC and he said:“Thank God at last Nigeria got a party that would salvage her from poverty and other problem, congratulations Nigeria.” 

Hon. Olusegun Dawodu, former Lagos Commissioner for Youth, Sports and Social Development, also leans his voice on the successful registration of APC. He said, “It is great for democracy. It shows there are still many politicians and people who believe in this country; setting aside their personal interests, and moving away from their comfort zone for the larger interest of our country.

" It is history in the making. We need an alternative to the incompetence mismanagement and misrule of the party at the federal level (PDP). All those who want Nigeria to achieve her potentials and be a great country, should support APC. It is the party of the people. Kudos to INEC for doing what is right by registering APC.”

In order to make today’s youth the leaders of tomorrow, the Executive Chairman of Iru-Victoria Island Local Council Development Area, Pharm. (Hon) Abayomi Daramola has commissioned education and recreation facilities which would boost the total development of the young people in the LCDA.

Speaking with Eko Akete news recently, Hon. Daramola said the gesture is to bring succor to the children

who would take over from the aging adults in the future , adding that it is aimed at giving the children better opportunity in the development of their God given talents through learning and recreation.

He explains the rationale behind this move, “On our part, I and the government of Iru-Victoria Local Council Development Area have provided a conducive atmosphere for your learning and recreation because we believe that these are the two key areas for you to be successful leaders of tomorrow”

Among the actions that the LCDA has taken to create conducive learning is the construction of 10 classrooms with 10 toilets facilities at Kuramo Junior College, construction of 12 classrooms with adequate facilities in the Local Government Junior Secondary School, Takwa bay and refurbishment of 5 primary schools to the state government standards.

Others are provisions of free intensive coaching for General Certificate Examination (G.C.E) and JAMB candidates for three months and the distribution of free forms of both exams for the LCDA youth.

Hon. Daramola said that since his administration is aware that an idle mind is a tool in the hand of devil, the youth of the LCDA are fully engaged in recreation activities for all round development. He said that LCDA youth came first in Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s under- 14 football competition. He stressed that this feat was as a result of the premium placed by his administration on sport which make the LCDA to sponsor the Oba Oniru Cup and Chairman Cup.

He explained that LCDA is not faring bad either in education sphere as  its representative came third and fifth in the Secondary and Primary categories of the just concluded inter-schools spelling bee competition. He then charged the youth to take opportunity of the programmes of the LCDA to empower themselves mentally and physically, “All these incentives are created to mentally and physically empower you for the future; I believe that the youth would make utmost use of these opportunities for their academic pursuit and moral upliftment,” he concluded.
