SPEECH OF HON SOB AGUNBIADE AT THE OFFICIAL FLAG-OFF OF THE 6TH EDITION OF HIS SPONSORED COMPUTER PROGRAMME

Protocols,

This is the 6th Edition of the computer training programme which I design to run for youth in my Constituency,  comprising:  Ikorodu North LCDA, Ikorodu West LCDA and Ikorodu Local Government Council.

My target for this  6th Edition are those young ones, who just wrote their Senior Secondary Certificate Exams, but are yet to be absorbed into any Higher institution of Learning. My aim is to engage them for another three months to prevent their hands form being devil's workshop and to provide them with alternative route to earn a living.

Ikorodu ES, Comm. for youth and sport,

Ayanbure of Ikorodu, Hon N, S Solaja

There are 230 beneficiaries of this edition of the programme. They will be trained within their Local Council:  Access Point Computer College at 57 Obafemi Awolowo Road Oke Ota-Ona Ikorodu for beneficiaries from Ikorodu Local Government. Access Point Computer College at 1, Ikorodu-Itoikin Road, Sabo Ikorodu for Ikorodu North LCDA and Globatech Computer Institute, Agric Bus Stop, Ikorodu for beneficiaries from Ikorodu West LCDA.

Participants in the program are sourced from all segments of my constituency: they are nominee of religious bodies, traditional institutions, Community Development Association, Market women and men, professional  and  interest groups, and some, who walked into the constituency on their own.

The entire training will be at my expense. As such, none of the students will pay any amount of money for the training.     

We have made provisions for their hand-out, so there is no exploitation of parents for hand-outs.
The bags are programme bangs and contain  hand-out on Desktop Publishing:
Introduction to Computer;
Microsoft Word;
Power Points;


Excel and Corel Draw.

The beneficiaries will be provided  with identity cards for access to the training centres. This is for security reasons and to prevent infiltration by persons who are not part of the programme.

Parent/Guardian are hereby advised to warn their children to be of good behaviour, obedient and law abiding as any form of indiscipline or unruly behaviour may lead to expulsion from the program. This program is not for fun, it is for serious business.


Hon. Kasumu Ikeja ll,
Addressing the students

Towards the end of the training we hope  to get the students to do industrial training at places that may enhance their acquired skills. At this point I am  calling on the commissioner for Science and Technology, Youth and Social developments, as  well as the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry to assist in the area of industrial training when the time comes. I will beacon on them.

At the completion of the training, students will write joint examinations and the best three students will go home with computer sets while there will be consolation prices for seven other students from fourth to tenth position. This is the annual practice of the program.

The programme being flagged off today will run for three months and we shall invite you again to celebrate the  accomplishments and the student that will emerge best in the programme. Permit me to say a big thank you to my lieutenants in this struggle of practical representation and positive impact on the society. These lieutenants are the member of Onward Movement of Nigeria who are my foot soldiers that packaged this program.                                                       



Beneficiaries

 I thank most profusely, the Party, My Party: the All Progressive Congress which provides me with the opportunity to serve you all.                                                   

Thank you all, God bless
