 In a significant move towards the successful execution of the upcoming 3rd edition of the Obasa Youth Crusade, the Obasa Youth Alliance (OYA) held a crucial general meeting on Sunday, September 1, 2024. The gathering, which brought together a diverse array of youth groups, including OYA executives, Ward coordinators, Zonal coordinators, Street captains, All Progressives Congress (APC) youth leaders, and stakeholders from Agege and Orile Agege, was marked by an atmosphere of unity and determination.



The meeting kicked off with an opening address from the Director-General of OYA, Comrade Ademosu Jamiu, who expressed his deep gratitude to all present. He delivered a goodwill message from the convener of OYA, Hon. Oluwagbenga Abiola Omaco  (Agbelebu), who commended the youth for their dedication and commitment during the last meeting. Hon. Gbenga Abiola urged the participants to maintain their enthusiasm and readiness for this year’s crusade, emphasizing the critical role they play in its success.


During the meeting, Agege APC Youth Leader, Comrade Jegbe Johnson, appealed to the attendees to remain committed as he emphasized the importance of the volunteer committees being essential for the smooth execution of this year’s crusade. 


A key focus of the meeting was the formation of volunteer committees, which are deemed essential for the smooth execution of the crusade. Comrade Jegbe Johnson emphasized that joining this volunteer committee is a voluntary service and encouraged only those willing to serve with dedication to enlist. He underscored the importance of the volunteer committee, urging members to approach their assignments with the highest level of priority and responsibility.


The response was overwhelmingly positive, with numerous attendees registering their interest in joining the volunteer committees.

Jegbe Johnson (Gezus), Orile Agege Youth Leader Comrade Arsenal, Deputy Director-General and Planning Committee Chairman Comrade Akinola Sasanya, Agege OYA Coordinator Comrade Oyewale Sunday (Skima), Orile Agege OYA Coordinator Comrade Gbenga Osolana, and Hon. Muyiwa Likinyo. Additionally, all APC Youth Leaders at the ward level from both Agege and Orile Agege, OYA Ward Coordinators, Zonal Coordinators, Street Captains, and representatives from youth organizations within and outside Agege were in attendance.


Despite the progress made in the formation of the volunteer committee, the leadership emphasized that the committee remain open to any youth, youth group, or stakeholder willing to contribute to the development and success of this year’s crusade. The OYA continues to foster an inclusive environment, encouraging broader participation to ensure the crusade’s impact is both far-reaching and profound.
