OJOKORO LCDA GROOMS FUTURE LEADERS, GRADUATES 130 TRAINEES IN DUAL CELEBRATION

It was a day of inspiration and celebration in Ojokoro Local Council Development Area on Monday, October 27, 2025, as the council held a dual event — the Showcase of the One-Day Chairman and One-Day Leader of the House, and the Graduation Ceremony of the School of Vocational Studies.

The Executive Chairman, Hon. (Barr.) Oluyemisi Adenike Rosiji, received the One-Day Chairman, Master Taiwo Daniel of Ijaiye-Ojokoro High School, and the One-Day Leader of the House, Miss Biobaku Oluwaferami of Ebenezer Primary School, in her office where she symbolically handed over her green pen and file to the young “Chairman.”

The leadership simulation continued at the Legislative Chamber, where the Leader of the House vacated his seat for the One-Day Leader to preside over proceedings before the event moved to the Council Hall for the graduation of 130 vocational trainees trained in various crafts.

In her address, Hon. Rosiji described the exercise as “a seed of leadership being planted in our children,” urging the young leaders to embrace humility, integrity, and service. She congratulated the graduands, encouraging them to use their skills to build better lives and contribute to community development.

She also urged youths aged 18–26 to take advantage of the ongoing Nigerian Army recruitment by applying at https://recruitment.army.mil.ng.

In his remarks, the One-Day Chairman, Master Taiwo Daniel, thanked the Executive Chairman for her commitment to education and appealed for a modern library, support for his Press Club, and empowerment for his mother.

Earlier, the Council Manager, Mrs. Mojisola Akinola, commended the Chairman for giving the pupils an opportunity to experience leadership firsthand, while representatives of the Tutor-General/Permanent Secretary, Education District I, and the Head of Education, Mr. Tajudeen Quadri, praised the council’s investment in education and youth empowerment.

The event concluded with the presentation of #250,000 each the One-Day Chairman and One-Day Leader and certificates to the graduands amidst applause and celebration, a fitting end to a day that blended leadership grooming with skill development in Ojokoro LCDA.
