For us at NYFF, it was an avenue to learn about the local realities and peculiarities of emerging trends happening in the Southwest which will help inform and shape our future programs to suit these realities.

We are thankful to the Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Oyo State, Hon Wasilat Adegoke, and Modupe Adetiba, the Senior Special Assistant on Student Affairs to Ekiti State Government who is also one of our Advisory Board Members for their presence and warm remarks.

The power of community lies in its ability to foster change when people come together for a common purpose and together, we will continue to shape #TheNigeriaWeWant through collaborations and actions. . . . . #thenigeriawewant #nigeriayouthfuturesfund #townhallmeeting

Our Advocates in Irewole LG last month commenced engagement at the grassroots. They are sensitizing residents of Osun on local government administration, the role of civic engagement and accrued funds as the era of full autonomy commences soon. #TheNigeriaWeWant Nigeria Youth Futures Fund

Osun Open Team Lead and Advocates from Ayedire Local Government Area were at the Palace of Olowu of Kuta, Oba Adekunle Makama Oyelude for an advocacy visit. The monarch promised to support the open governance advocacy more than before. He called on youth to ask relevant questions

Osun residents must be interested in whatever happens at the local government areas considering the financial allocations the councils now get. #OsunOpenLG #TheNigeriaWeWant #accountability

Our organization, Insight Initiative for Comm. and Soc. Development was a grantee of Nigeria Youth Futures Fund and our project Osun Open LG Project was one of the projects here. We were able to train 66 advocates and reached out to over 60,000 Osun residents on the need to track LG funds and hold leaders to account. Thank you NYFF

Last week, as part of #OsunOpenLG Project supported by Nigeria Youth Futures Fund, we trained local govt chairmen in Osun State on participatory budgetting, procurement process and civic engagement. The training was an eye-opener for council bosses. We also walked through how Amoye works.
