The body of Ikorodu Division Youth Initiative Movement has made gaunt strides despite her young age. This is possible by the drive, dedication and passion of the young minds whose aims and objectives invlude seeing Ikorodu as a Division attaining a lofty height to the envy of all other Divisions in Lagos State.

The body who addressed MegaXpression Community Magazine and other news men on Sunday, at Ikorodu Town Hall, started on a WhatsApp group where indigene of the Division that have been distinguishing themselves in their chosen field are invited to the group to speak to youths of the Division on the need to distinguish themselves and make themselves better persons by taking advantage of the prevailing opportunities.

On the Youth Summit, the Body said they came to a point where it was expedient for them to take discussions offline and have a physical interaction. These agitations propelled them into organizing the first youth summit cutting across the nooks and crannies of the Division in 2018.

Revealing some of their efforts during the general elections, the Secretary General of the Body said:
"As the general election approached, with the hindsight of the fact that politicians are always eager to use Youths as agent of destruction, commotion and confusion while keeping their own children in safe haven, we began publicizing to our fellow Youths not to fall for the antics of these politicians who will only use and dump them immediately the elections are over.

"We did not stop there, we went further to visit all contestants across all political Parties, discussing with them the need for peace during and after elections as elections shouldn't be a do or die affair. We presented to them our dorm of PEACE ACCORD to sign which they all gladly signed and promised a peaceful election and not using Youths as an agent of violence.

"Having met and discussed with all the contestant we felt we all need to hear the manifestos of all contestant so that the populace will know who to vote for having heard their manifestos so that their judgments of voting is not based on a vague information but by listening and judging by what they see. We are glad that this also turned to be a success as the turnout was massive from both contestants and intending voters.

"Having encouraged young contestants in Ikorodu Division during the elections as our campaign also includes not too young to run, we visited all political leaders and stalwart in the Division imploring that youth inclusiveness is of paramount importance when political slots are been filled in cabinet constitution at state level.

"Other Programs/Projects we have successfully supported across the Division are:
1. Free Medical Outreach to the Community of Igbogbo/Baiyeku LCDA in conjunction with MILLICENT FOUNDATION.
2. Women Empowerment Program in Partnership with Golden Integrated Foundation.
3. IT Hub & Digital Marketing Conference in Partnership with The Resource Hub Initiative.
4. Campaign Against Cultism and Drug Addiction In Partnership With Nigeria Bar Association Ikorodu Branch and Hope For Addicts Initiative."

"Having registered with he Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and seeing the enormity of things that ought to have been done but left undone, we remain determine that we shall leave Ikorodu Division a better place than we met it," the Secretary added.

The Board of Trustees Chairman, Dr. Fatai Abiodun-Abatan, responded to questions raised by gentlemen of the Press ,before closing prayer was observed.
