The nomination by the Executive Governor of Oyo State; Engr. Seyi Makinde and confirmation by the Oyo State House of assembly and immediate inauguration into office of Miss Wasilat ADEGOKE, a 29-year-old Lanlate born young female politician and newly sworn-in commissioner for Youths and Sports development today is not just a step in the right direction but also an impetus that will drive more youthful contributions to the government of Oyo state.

All over the world, youth inclusion in politics and governance have become a mantra which has formed central notions in many leadership conferences, symposium and political parlance.

Youths being the most virile population of every nation are the driving force of massive socio-economic revolution and political and social engineering.

Any thoughtful political, social or economic leader will not undermine the strength of the youth sector which constitute about 60% of the voting population.

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state having just sworn in Miss Wasilat Adegoke has further placed Oyo State in the heart of lovers of all-inclusive government rooted in democratic rule and everyone who desire to see the needed expected leadership that comes from the standpoint of intellectualism, youthful vigor zeal plus a mixture of native intelligence domiciled among the elders in the cabinet should anticipate an era of a idea driven, thought inclined and problem-solution oriented government .

Gone are the days when a youth commissioner is not truly youthful in age and strength.

Gov. Seyi Makinde has deepened his approach on finding youthful and useful individuals to join him pilot the affairs of the state and this is commendable
