He explained that “Seyi been a committed leader for Youth Empowerment, and keying into the Renewed Hope Agenda of the present administration irrespective of tribe, religion or political considerations, collaborated with his friends and provide additional relief items to the affected students which were distributed today”.

He commended all the SUG leaders, the Committee Chairman and his team, as well as the security agencies, especially the Nigeria Police for their unwavering support which led to the smooth and successful conduct of the exercise.

Seyi further revealed that his door are always open to Nigerian youths in giving them hope, as they are the future leaders of tomorrow.

He enjoined the Chairman of the Committee and his team as well as SUG representatives to do justice and transparently distributed the relief items to the real beneficiaries, even as he prayed God to forestall future occurence of any natural or man- made disasters in the country.
