Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has appointed winner of the just concluded reality TV show ‘Big Brother Naija’, Olamilekan Laycon Agbeleshe, as a youth ambassador in the state.
Governor Abiodun, who made the announcement when Laycon visited him in his office at Oke-Mosan in Abeokuta, also gave the reality star a three-bedroom bungalow and the sum of N5million.
Speaking during the visit on Tuesday, October 6, 2020, Governor Abiodun expressed the hope that the good character, excellence, good virtues, calmness, the integrity of Odeda, the Ogun State-born BBNaija winner would serve as a model to youth in the state.
“Once again, I congratulate you and on this note, I hereby appoint you as Youth Ambassador of Ogun State. I look forward to working with you to be a model of good character, excellence, good virtues, calmness, integrity that are general attributes of Ogun State, and in fact, your homestead, Odeda.
“We believe that you will help inspire our teeming youths to channel their energies towards positive engagements and shun vices such as robbery, drug abuse, cultism, advanced fee fraud, cybercrimes and kidnapping amongst other negative tendencies,” the governor announced.
While congratulating Laycon on his wining, the governor promised that an entertainment village is being contemplated to nurture budding talents in the state and beyond.
The governor said young Nigerians can learn from Laycon’s demeanor while in the Big Brother Naija House based on how he related well with the other 19 housemates from different backgrounds.
Governor Abiodun also praised Laycon who he said, “demonstrated the Omoluabi component which is the primary ingredient of an Ogun State-born Nigerian. Despite all the odds, temptations, and provocations in the House, I am proud that you came out unscathed and uninvolved in any scandal or immoral act.
“You have also demonstrated with the way you carried out your assigned tasks in the House with comportment; intellectual responses to questions and; your spirit of fair-play, that your academic achievement at the University of Lagos was earned. This has also shown that our Universities can and still produce graduates that are found worthy in character and good learning.”
The governor said the celebration of Laycon’s personality is beyond the entertainment that the House provided, but “what you represent: a rare combination of prodigious intellect, academic excellence, multi-faceted talents, character, and resilience.”
