The Ogun State Student Coordinator of the City Boy Movement, Comrade Temitope Ayodele Afolabi has commended Senior Special Assistant to the President on Students Engagement and National Director, Students Engagement, City Boy Movement, Comr. Sunday Dayo Asefon for the successful hosting of the Student Leaders’ Engagement and Voters’ Sensitisation Programme in Ogun State.
The programme, held on Friday at the Ogun State Polytechnic of Health and Allied Sciences (OSPHAS), Ilese-Ijebu, brought together student leaders, campus ambassadors, stakeholders, and students from various tertiary institutions across the state for meaningful conversations on student inclusion, leadership development, civic awareness, and democratic participation.
Afolabi described the initiative as a significant milestone in strengthening the relationship between the national leadership of the movement and the student community.
He noted that providing students with opportunities to engage directly with national leadership creates room for meaningful conversations, stronger institutional relationships, and greater participation in issues affecting young people.
He specially commended the presidential aide for his commitment to student engagement and his decision to bring this important initiative to Ogun State.
He acknowledged the vision, coordination, and efforts invested in organising the programme, describing it as an opportunity to bring student leaders, stakeholders, and the national leadership together under one platform.
He further appreciated the National Students Directorate and all individuals who contributed to the successful planning and execution of the engagement.
The student coordinator also extended heartfelt appreciation to all Ogun State students, student union presidents, campus ambassadors, institutional representatives, coordinators, and distinguished stakeholders who turned out in impressive numbers.
He described their participation as encouraging and a demonstration of the importance of unity, collaboration, and active student involvement.
He emphasised that the success of any student-focused initiative depends not only on the vision of its organisers but also on the willingness of students and stakeholders to participate, contribute, and take ownership of the opportunities presented to them.
Afolabi further encouraged eligible students to take an active interest in the democratic process by completing the appropriate voter registration procedures and obtaining their Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs).
He stressed the importance of civic awareness, responsible participation, and peaceful engagement, urging students to remain informed and understand the value of their constitutional rights.
Reaffirming his commitment to the movement, Afolabi assured the national leadership and the entire student community of his determination to continue strengthening the City Boy Movement’s student structure across Ogun.
He emphasised the need for sustained engagement, effective campus coordination, unity among student leaders, and continuous opportunities for students to contribute meaningfully to national development.
“When leadership creates opportunities for engagement and students respond with unity and commitment, stronger structures are built.
“I sincerely appreciate Hon. Comr. Asefon Sunday Dayo for bringing this engagement to Ogun State.
“I also celebrate every student, stakeholder, campus ambassador, and student leader who made this occasion memorable.
“This is a foundation upon which we can build greater student participation, stronger relationships, and meaningful impact,” Afolabi said.
