Oyo lawmaker Adedeji Olajide has pledged N50 million [1] to support the Youth Legislative Summit in Oyo State.
The investment aims to foster civic engagement among young people and provide the technical resources necessary to modernize educational opportunities in the region. By focusing on mentorship and technology, the initiative seeks to prepare students for future governance and professional roles.
Olajide said the funding is intended to bridge the digital gap within the state. This effort targets the disparity in technology access that often hinders students from underserved areas from competing with their peers in urban centers.
The lawmaker intends to use the summit as a platform for student mentorship. By connecting current legislators with youth, the program aims to provide a practical understanding of the legislative process, and public service.
This financial commitment of N50 million [1] reflects a broader strategy to integrate digital literacy into the state's youth development goals. The summit will serve as a catalyst for students to engage with policy-making and digital tools that are essential for modern governance.
Efforts to close the digital divide are central to the lawmaker's plan. The initiative emphasizes that access to information and communication technology is a prerequisite for effective leadership in the current era.
