“We are here to commend your efforts on a lot of giant strides that you have recorded in Ondo State. Worthy of mention is the massive road constructions going round in the state
“Let me particularly mention the Ore flyover. We also thank you for the good learning environment you have provided in our public primary schools,” Akinyele said.

The Governor urged them to debate issues that are affecting the country, adding that the issue of leadership and others should form subjects for discussion without being partisan.
“I believe it is not just a gathering of youths for fun. You must be able to handle some supervisory roles on other unions and association on campus. You have a great role to play. You have observed our infrastructural giant and I thank you for that,” Governor Akeredolu said.
