PENIEL MEETS WITH THE SPEAKER OF THE OYO STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY

March 25, 2021 11:12 PM

The Founder and CEO of Truth Zombie Concepts, Peniel Okwuchukwu, was part of a youth delegate group that paid a courtesy visit to the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Honourable Adebo Ogundoyin. 

The honourable speaker who is remarkably the youngest speaker of any state assembly in Nigeria being in his early thirties, admonished the youth delegates to be passionately involved in nation building and good governance, especially now that they are young. 

The speaker registered the agitation of Nigerian youths who believe that they are being deliberately excluded from the political sphere by older politicians who want to continue to remain in power. In response to this, the speaker expressed his sympathy for their plight and then counselled the youths to combat the situation by employing adequate planning and strategizing, in order to successfully insert themselves into the political system. He noted that the reins of the nation’s government would not be handed to them if they do not contend for it despite whatever odds. The speaker then went ahead to pledge his active support to enabling more young people get involved with nation building and governance in Nigeria.

The meeting with the speaker was highly inspiring to Peniel and other delegates, as they remarked that it is important for the youths to have a beacon of inspiration and to see first-hand through people like Honourable Ogundoyin, that it is possible for young Nigerians to make significant contribution to nation building while still in their youth. 

Peniel commended the Honourable Speaker’s decision to always be accessible to young people instead of carrying himself with the typical pomp akin to many Nigerian politicians and elites. He said that these virtues proved that the speaker is a man of esteemed character.
