An aspirant at the last general elections seeking to represent Ilorin East constituency at the Kwara State House of Assembly, Hon. Teslim Olawaye Yusuf has successfully facilitated employment for fifteen (15) members of his Ilorin East constituency in one of the top banking outfits in Nigeria.
When asked what birthed the idea or motivated him to do such during his surprising visit to check how they’re faring at their place of work, Hon. Teslim disclosed: “This is in line with my campaign promises during the electioneering period, I repeatedly maintained that whether I emerge or not, I would try my possible best to still fulfill a vast majority of my promises.”
In his words: “One of the cardinal points of my campaign is human capital development and job creation, which I believe is a catalyst for poverty reduction, elimination of restiveness amongst youths, and the reduction of social vices and crimes in the society.”
He continued: “It is instructive to note that the moral fabric of a society would continue to be eroded and degraded as far as the youths are jobless and unengaged, to successfully tackle this age-long and humongous challenge, it takes the efforts of all and sundry, not just that of the elected officials.”
He added: “The paradigm shift that we clamoured for resulted in the change we’re experiencing cum today, and I beckon on all well-meaning Kwarans to support the government of His Excellency, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq in all raminifications, we should be patient with him whilst being prayerful for the success of his government.”
He urged all those that benefited from the employment opportunity to utilize it well, launch their careers, be good ambassadors of their immediate family and community, and not disappoint the trust he reimposed in them. “Grab and utilize this opportunity to the maximum, I have high hopes on you, don’t disappoint yourself, your family, and your community, make us proud and May Allah be with you”, he concluded.
