New leaders of the National Association of Ondo Students (NAOSS) have been inaugurated.
The event took place at the NAOSS Secretariat on Ilesa Road, Akure, the state capital.
Speaking at the event, Chairman of the scholarship board Mr Dayo Awude said he was happy to be in the students’ midst.
“I encourage this newly inaugurated Senate to be more pro-active and progressive in its parliamentary resolutions so as to contribute its quota to the development of the state,” he stated.
He reiterated his commitment to students’ welfare, adding that he would always listen to the demands of students.
The Special Assistant to the Governor on Youths, Mr Tayo Adenikinju, praised the leadership of the new Senate for their maturity in tackling challenges, pledging his support to the Senate.
The Senate President, Fagbemigun Israel, from the Obafemi Awolowo University, said the students would play their role in contributing to the development of the state.
“The Senate has not come to witch-hunt any executive, but will not tolerate any iota of administrative negligence or irresponsibility from its executive. All acts capable of tarnishing the name of the association will be duly checked and punishment will be placed where needed.” He added.
Israel expressed his readiness to work with the State Government in the interest of students, saying that the welfare of students would be primary in his agenda.
The second phase of the event took place in the official lodge of Governor Femi Mimiko, where the senate paid a congratulatory visit to the governor on the announcement of the new federal polytechnic to be located at Ile-Oluji. The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on youth, Evangelist Olumuyiwa Asagunla, received the delegation.
The students thanked the Governor for the prompt payment of their bursary despite the drastic fall in the federal allocation to the state.
