Aloysius Okino Organizes Free N-power Registration for Ajaokuta Citizens



In a bid to get many unemployed graduates in Ajaokuta local government registered in the ongoing Federal Government N-power registration activities, the former Chairman of Ajaokuta local government, Hon. Aloysius Adeiza Okino has organized free N-power registration in the area.
The former chairman who out of his usual magnanimity organized the free registration programme is targeting at least 10,000 unemployed youths in the area to be registered and eventually become beneficiaries of the Federal Government Social Intervention Programme.
The registration activities which kick-started on Saturday 17th June 2017, witnessed a mammoth cloud of youths in the area who are currently unemployed.
The Media aid to the former chairman, Comrade Mohammed James who addressed the youths on behalf of his boss said he was not surprised seeing such turnout, knowing fully well that there are many unemployed youths in the area, adding that, his boss will always be available to assist the youths in the area any day, any time.
Comrade James therefore called on the attention of the state government to create job opportunities for the youths in the area, noting that the high level of unemployment in the area is seriously alarming and there is need to curtail it before it gets out of hand.
“With what I have seen today, I am not surprised because I know we have a large numbers of unemployed youths in the area; that is why my boss, Hon. Aloysius Adeiza Okino is ever ready to assist the youths in the area. I am calling on the state government to urgently do the needful by creating more employment opportunities for the youths in the area and the state at large” James said.
Those who were present during the free registration process expressed their satisfaction with the former chairman, adding that they are always proud of him for remembering the youths always.
One of the youths, Siyaka Liyasu Akilade said “I am very much delighted with a young pragmatic leader, Hon. Aloysius Okino who out of his usual magnanimity has once again decided to show concern to the plight of the youths in the area. Aloysius is no longer in office and he is still performing more than those in offices.
Another youth, Edoh Wisdom said he was very happy for this show of concern from a leader who is no longer in office, praying that, the Almighty God will bless him abundantly
Another youth, Ibrahim John said, this single act has saved him close to N1,000. In his words “I don’t know how to thank this man. He has really done well to organize a free registration for us even out of office. He has saved my N1,000 I was suppose to take to café to register. On behalf of other youths, I am saying thank you and God bless you”.
One other beneficiary, Momoh Adoga Itiler popularly called politican jagaban in the area also expressed his joy for such magnanimity from a concern leader and prayed that the Almighty God will meet his heart desires always.
