Wole Oke Delivers Again: Over 1,000 Osun Youth Empowered with Fully Funded Technical Education




Osun State, Nigeria 

In a bold move reinforcing his unwavering commitment to youth empowerment, Hon. Dr. Oluwole (Wole) Oke, member representing Ijesa North Federal Constituency, has once again demonstrated purposeful leadership by fully funding tuition and related fees for over 1,000 students across nine technical colleges in Osun State.


True to his pledge, Hon. Oke covered tuition, enrolment, upkeep, and SIWES fees, ensuring that young, promising minds are not de

nied access to technical education due to financial constraints. The scholarship, disbursed on June 25, 2025, marks a significant milestone in his long-term strategy to promote vocational skills and self-reliance among the youth.

A Lifeline for Aspiring Technicians and Innovators

The beneficiaries span a wide range of technical disciplines, including Electrical Engineering, Tailoring, Catering, Carpentry and Joinery, Fabrication and Welding, Business Studies, and Motor Vehicle Mechanics, with recipients drawn from technical colleges in Osogbo, Ara, Otan, Gbongan, Ile-Ife, Inisa, Osu, and Ijeda-Ijebu-Jesa.

Notably, while eight colleges enrolled Year 1 students under this initiative, Ijeda-Ijebu-Jesa Technical College saw coverage extended to students from Year 1 through Year 3, reinforcing Dr. Oke’s depth of commitment.

A Vision Rooted in Action

Speaking on the development, Hon. Oke stated:
“This scholarship programme is part of my vision to ensure that every willing student has access to technical education. By prioritising skill acquisition, we are creating job creators rather than job seekers—essential to reducing unemployment and lifting families out of poverty.”



This is not an isolated gesture but a continuation of Oke’s consistent investments in Osun’s educational and economic future. Over the last five years, his interventions have equipped countless youths with practical skills, reducing dependency and opening doors to entrepreneurship and gainful employment.

Beyond Handouts: Building a Skilled Future

In an era where many leaders offer rhetoric without results, Hon. Wole Oke stands apart, delivering not only on his promises but also on the hope of a better future. His scholarship programme is more than financial aid; it is a strategic investment in human capital, fueling a generation poised to drive innovation, productivity, and sustainable development in Osun State and beyond.

BREAKING: PDP Bleeds in Oriade: Commissioner Loses 14 Party Leaders to Wole Oke in Home Ward

In a significant political shift, 14 grassroots leaders, including prominent women and youth coordinators from Ward 11, covering Ijeda and Iloko in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, have resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and pledged allegiance to Hon. Wole Oke’s growing political camp in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass resignation, formalized in a jointly signed letter, marks a deepening crack within the PDP structure in Oriade, as key mobilizers abandon the party over what they describe as years of marginalization, poor internal democracy, and a lack of direction. Their defection is also seen as a major boost to Wole Oke’s political momentum within the APC, following his recent and controversial departure from the PDP. “We are grateful for the opportunities and experiences we had as PDP members,” the group stated, “but the party no longer reflects our values or aspirations. We believe in Hon. Wole Oke’s leadership and vision, and we are proud to...

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...
