Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has reiterated his administration’s commitment to youth empowerment in all 18 local government areas of the state.

Aiyedatiwa also promised to deepen his administration’s efforts in empowering the youths and ensuring a safe, prosperous future for all citizens of the state, adding that 15,000 youths had been empowered through labour-intensive public workforce programmes of his administration.

The governor stated this during an interactive session with various youth groups held at the International Centre for Culture and Events in Akure, the state on Tuesday.

While describing young people as the backbone of the state’s development and vital to the success of any meaningful transformation, Aiyedatiwa presented to the youth his administration’s 7-point developmental agenda, tagged ‘Our Ease’, which focuses on order and security, rural and urban development, technological advancement, healthcare, power, infrastructure, and education.

He said, “We have provided nano grants as business support to 5,000 youths, engaged 15,000 young people in labour-intensive public workforce programmes, and officially opened youth skill centres across the state under the One-Youth-One-Skill Scheme.”

The governor, who expressed appreciation for the overwhelming support shown by the youth during the November 2024 governorship election, described their contribution as instrumental to his electoral victory across the 18 local government areas of the state.

He urged the youth to take advantage of the administration’s policies and programmes and stay away from actions that could derail the development of the state.

“This administration is creating the enabling environment to project the state in a good light to attract investors,” he said while alluding to the fact that protest is part of democracy but only after dialogue and negotiations with appropriate government agencies have failed.

“Let us not dissipate our God-given talents and energies on negative tendencies. We must work together to promote peace, build community, and unleash your potential. We believe in you and are committed to supporting you,” he charged.

In his welcome address, the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Youth Empowerment and Job Creation, Orioye Gbayisemore, lauded Aiyedatiwa for prioritising youth development and job creation in the state.

Gbayisemore expressed confidence in the governor’s leadership and commended his commitment to improving the lives of young people.

He highlighted initiatives such as the payment of WAEC fees, scholarships, teachers’ recruitment, and the One-Youth-One-Skill scheme.

He urged the youth to take ownership of the administration’s vision and play active roles in building a progressive Ondo State.

Governor Sule seals $2m Lithium deal with Chinese Firm

Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has presided over the signing of a $2 million supplementary lithium agreement between the state government and Diamond New Energy, following his recent visit to China.   The agreement was signed at the Nasarawa State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja on Friday, August 14, 2026. Sule said the deal would help keep the company’s lithium processing factory operational while protecting jobs created by the investment. > “We are going to keep your factory functional, and we also have an interest as license owners in whatever you are doing in your company. More importantly, the people you have employed will remain employed,” the governor said. According to Channels Television, the governor said the state moved quickly to secure the relevant mining licence to ensure continued access to raw materials and prevent another party from obtaining the licence. The Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Margaret Elayo, expressed appreciation to the investors and said the partnership could encourage further investment in Nasarawa. The signing was witnessed by officials from the state Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, the Nasarawa State Investment Development Agency (NASIDA), Diamond New Energy and Ganfeng Lithium Industry Limited. Sule also urged the company to maintain peaceful relations with host communities and contribute to their development. He disclosed that payments due to the state under the agreement would be made in foreign currency directly to Nasarawa Mining Company Limited, with the terms subject to periodic review. Agreement builds on 2024 mining deal NASIDA Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Ibrahim Abdullahi said the state government had signed an exclusive mining cooperation agreement with the company in 2024. He said the partnership had contributed to the completion of what he described as the largest lithium processing refinery in West Africa. The supplementary agreement allows the continued supply of lithium materials from the state government’s mining block to serve as feedstock for the refinery. Abdullahi said the arrangement was expected to create further employment opportunities for young people and women in Nasarawa. He added that the state would receive $2 million immediately upon signing, with additional revenues expected under the agreement. A representative of Diamond New Energy, David Siong, said the company remained committed to expanding its operations in Nasarawa, including local processing of resources, job creation and supporting economic development in host communities. The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Isaac Danladi, also presented copies of a deed of assignment transferring the mining rights and interests of Nasarawa Mining Company within 3.5 mining cadastral units in Endo, Nasarawa Local Government Area, to Ganfeng Lithium Industry Limited.
