The Osun State Government, on Thursday, announced the dissolution and replacement of Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme with Imole Youth Corps.
OYES, a volunteer scheme, was introduced in December, 2010 by the administration of ex-Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The incumbent administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke announced the change in a circular issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Teslim Igbalaye.
It said the decision was taken to reposition the youth empowerment programme inherited from the previous government for effective functionality, sustainability and dignity of labour.
The statement read in part, “In fulfilling one of the electoral promises of His Excellency, the Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, in ensuring meaningful and proper youth engagement in the state, a new scheme code-named Imole Youth Corps is hereby put in place to engage our teeming youths in the state.
“Application forms will be available for prospective youths in all the 30 LGs, including Ife East Area office of the state free of charge beginning from Friday, February 17, 2023.”
