Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanj
Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has disbursed N49m as the second tranche of the state’s 2026 youth subvention to 90 youth organisations across the state as part of efforts to give them greater leverage in governance.
The Commissioner for Youth Development, Adesola Adedayo, said the intervention was approved by the governor “as part of efforts to strengthen youth organisations, promote grassroots participation and empower young people to contribute meaningfully to the development of the state.”
Adedayo said in Ado Ekiti on Monday that “the N49m subvention we are disbursing to 90 youth groups is the second tranche of the state government’s subvention to youth organisations for 2026.
“The subvention was designed to support registered youth, student and community-based organisations in implementing their programmes and running their activities without excessive dependence on politicians or personal contributions from members.
