This afternoon, I met with the three indigenes of Ekiti State who were recently honoured with the Presidential Award for @officialnyscng Corps members. I am glad that in their various Places of Primary Assignment (PPA) they demonstrated #leadership, #compassion, and #diligence... 
- values that define us as Ekiti people.
These young people went beyond the call of duty and made us proud. Kolawole Toba Gabriel focused on maternal and child #mortality, and helped to address questions of #poverty that contribute to high mortality rates in Adamawa State.

In Bauchi State, Ayodele Olubusayo Abidemi did a lot to improve the learning environment in the community where she served by renovating three blocks of classrooms, and assisting #school children.
Seriki Adetutu Ifeoluwa dug a well to improve access to #water during her service year, and provided #relief materials to #vulnerable school children in Oyo State.
These exceptional qualities of #service speak to the #values restoration agenda that we have always promoted in Ekiti State. For us, it is important to restore the values that Ekiti people are known for.
Ekitis are passionate, service-oriented, courageous, industrious, hard-working, knowledgeable, patriotic, and honest. We are honourable people!
These young awardees are great testaments to our #heritage as the Land of Honour - Ile Iyi, Ile Eye. I hope other young people are inspired.
On behalf of the good people of Ekiti State, I thank them for making us proud and wish them success in their future endeavours.
