Tinubu's aide empowers over 10,000 Ogun pupils with educational materials

As part of his commitment to grassroots empowerment and educational development, Alhaji Yusuf Kamorudeen, Personal Assistant to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has supported over 5,000 pupils across Ogun State through a back-to-school initiative to improve learning conditions in primary schools.

The project, executed under the Alliance for Kamosky Group, is one of Kamorudeen's personal empowerment programmes designed to give back to the community and promote access to quality education for children in the state.

The Back-to-School Project involves distributing school bags, exercise books, pens, and pencils to pupils in selected primary schools across all 20 local government areas of Ogun State.

The initiative is intended to encourage school attendance, support parents, and ease the financial burden of providing educational materials.

The first phase of the distribution commenced on Thursday, October 2, 2025, in Ado-Odo/Otta Local Government Area, while the second phase began on Monday, October 13, covering the four regions in the state.

Over the course of the exercise, more than 11,000 exercise books, 10,000 backpacks, and 15,000 pens and pencils were distributed to thousands of pupils across over 65 public primary schools.

Kamorudeen, who spoke through Dr Lateef Sulaimon, an associate professor at the University of Abuja, said the initiative reflects his lifelong passion for education and community service.

"Education remains the foundation for building strong communities and a prosperous future. This project is my way of supporting parents and complementing government efforts to ensure that no child is left behind due to a lack of basic learning materials," the President's aide stated.

He added that the initiative aligns with the Ogun State Ministry of Education's vision to promote inclusive, high-quality education across the state.

"Our goal is simple - to make learning more enjoyable for the children and to show them that society cares about their future," he said.

The gesture has been widely commended by parents, teachers, and local community leaders, who described it as a timely intervention that would boost school attendance and motivate young learners.

NYSC Mobilisation & Academic Standards – Raising quality or adding pressure on students?

On September 29, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved a reform linking the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilisation process to the National Policy for the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD). By invoking Sections 2(4)(4) and 16(1)(C) of the NYSC Act, Tinubu stated that no graduate, whether from a Nigerian or foreign institution, will be mobilised for or exempted from NYSC without proof of compliance with the NERD policy. In a common man's understanding, the Federal Government has announced that Nigerian students must now submit their final-year projects or thesis before they can be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
