ALVA NEWS UPDATES

OSOGBO, OSUN STATE

The Osun State Commissioner for Youth Affairs, Hon. Olagunju Moshood Olalekan, has appealed to members of the Imole Youths Corps who are yet to receive their salaries and allowances to remain calm and patient, assuring them that the concerns surrounding the delayed payments are receiving the necessary attention.

The Commissioner, who spoke on the development, acknowledged the concerns of affected beneficiaries, noting that many of them depend on their monthly stipends to meet personal responsibilities and support their families.

He said the delay is unusual, particularly given the payment experience under the administration of the Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke.

According to him, the situation should not be allowed to discourage the young people who have continued to contribute their time, energy and skills to the development of their communities through the Imole Youths Corps initiative.
