About 120 youths, who gathered to celebrate the 55th birthday anniversary of the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Chief Sunday Akin Dare, in his Akobo, Ibadan home, have praised his introduction of a scholarship scheme for indigent Oyo State students.
It was a gathering like no other, as issues around youth development took centre-stage, overshadowing the birthday celebration.
The celebration-turned -youth engagement excited the celebrant, as he fielded questions from youths and enlightened them on the achievements of the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development. Dare laid emphasis on the Nigerian Youth Investment Fund (NYIF), one of the initiatives of his ministry.
One of the highlights of the event was the launch of the Dare Undergraduate Scholarship Scheme (DUGGS), aimed at providing financial support to indigent students of Oyo State in any university or polytechnic across the nation.
