Oluwo praises Tinubu for appointing Brigadier-General Nafiu as NYSC DG
The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, has expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Brigadier-General Olukunle Nafiu as the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
In a statement on Monday, the monarch’s press secretary, Alli Ibrahim, conveyed Oluwo’s excitement over the appointment, describing it as a recognition of Nafiu’s dedication to strengthening Nigeria’s security framework and fostering national unity.
Brigadier-General Nafiu, who hails from Ileogbo in Iwoland, Osun State, now assumes the responsibility of overseeing the NYSC, a role the Oluwo likened to being a father to Nigerian youths.
“You are now a man of many parts. As such, balancing the roles requires wisdom, which I’m sure shall be divinely given by Almighty God as usual,” Oluwo stated.
The monarch prayed for divine guidance, protection, and strength for the new NYSC DG, expressing confidence in his ability to lead the scheme to unprecedented success.
“Hailing from Ileogbo in Iwoland, you are one of our pride and monumental assets to Osun State, Nigeria, Africa, and the world by extension,” he added.
