Frontline Governorship Aspirant in Oyo State on the platform of All Progressives Congress Party-APC, Barr Akeem Adedeji Agbaje, has declared that, no child will be suffered to learn in undignified conditions, while school feeding will be expanded to accommodate all pupils in public primary schools, this is because, according to him "...a hungry child cannot learn effectively". This education policy is contained in a "Policy and Strategy Document", released to newsmen in Ibadan yesterday.  Specifically, it states: "Education is not just a line in a budget—it is the bedrock of every thriving society. As Governor of Oyo State, I will treat education as the most critical investment in our people and our future. Today, the reality is stark. Too many children in Oyo State learn under leaking roofs, sit on bare floors, and struggle without access to basic learning materials. Our teachers are overstretched and undervalued. Our graduates leave school with certificates t...

As a father, lawyer, and dedicated APC leader, I have heard the deep frustrations of Oyo State’s youth, from the streets of Ibadan to the communities of Oke-Ogun to Oyo, Ibarapa and Ogbomoso. Youth unemployment is not just a statistic; it is a human emergency that wastes talent, fuels insecurity, drives migration, and endangers our state’s future. Our young people represent our greatest asset, and we must act decisively. ‎ ‎The Current Situation ‎Nigeria has one of the world’s youngest populations, and Oyo State, with its many tertiary institutions, produces thousands of graduates annually. Yet the economy struggles to absorb them into quality jobs. ‎ ‎While the National Bureau of Statistics reports a national youth unemployment rate (ages 15–24) of 6.5% in Q2 2024, this headline figure masks a harsher reality. Independent assessments, including the State of the Nigerian Youth Report 2025, indicate that nearly 80 million Nigerian youths are unemployed or severely underemployed, with ov...

 The growing demand for effective governance in Nigeria has continued to reshape political conversations across states, and nowhere is this more relevant than in Oyo State. As citizens become more development-focused, there is an increasing argument that political parties—especially the APC—must begin to prioritize competence, technical capacity, and proven administrative experience over the traditional cycle of “season politicians.” A useful reference point is the governance model of Lagos. Over the years, Lagos has demonstrated how technocratic leadership, particularly in areas of urban planning, finance, infrastructure, and public service delivery, can transform a complex state into a functional economic hub. The consistent emphasis on administrators with strong private and public sector experience has helped Lagos maintain relative stability in policy direction, revenue generation, and infrastructure development regardless of political transitions. This Lagos experience offers ...
