-

A Leading contestant of the 2022 gubernatorial election in Ekiti State, Engr. Kayode Ojo has charged youths in Ekiti to be Productive as the current unemployment crisis cannot be handled solely by Government jobs.

Engr. Kayode Ojo, chairman and Chief launcher at the occasion in his speech thanked God Almighty for the opportunity to be at the event. ''It is a wonderful honour to deem me worthy of being the Chairman/Chief Launcher of this yearly event'', Engr Kayode also added that, I do not see myself as an outsider who is disconnected from this community as my Father late High Chief (Dr) Joshua Akanbi Ojo (Eiseba of Ikoro Ekiti) married a lovely woman from this town, and she, a wonderful stepmother so technically by extension and bloodline, I am a bonafide son of Ijurin 'Land of Hospitality'.

Engr Kayode Ojo also commended the Governor of Ekiti State Dr. John Kayode Fayemi for been a creative governor. ''Many people take their culture for granted because it has become so firmly embedded in their lives, and they fail to recognize it's ability to propel progress. Culture is critical to any society's creative capacity and it is unquestionably an important area in which to invest. Luckily our creative Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi is on that path with the ongoing Construction of an airport on Ekiti Land, Ojo added.


Engr. Kayode Ojo also disclosed that the importance of an occasion like this cannot be ignored. It offers a time to reunite with families and friends, to reconnect with our base, and to exchange ideas, to share experiences and to refresh relationships.
