The Ondo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has extended warm felicitations to the Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Wisdom Olawande, on the occasion of his birthday.

Chairman of the Ondo NUJ, Prince Leke Adegbite, hailed Olawande as a reliable, humble and consummate young national figure, noting that his kind-hearted nature stands out in contemporary leadership.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Ondo NUJ Secretary, Olaoluwa Meshack, the union described the minister as an easygoing and unassuming leader who has continued to serve as a bridge between Nigerian youths and the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The union further expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for appointing Olawande as Minister of Youth Development, stating that his leadership remains a blessing to both the administration and Nigerian youths at large.
