Ekiti Governor’s Aide Honoured with Global Impact Leaders Award.

The Special Assistant to the Ekiti State Governor on Youth Empowerment, Hon. Yemi Olubusoye, has received the prestigious Global Impact Leaders Award from EDUCRAFT Initiative in recognition of his outstanding contributions to youth empowerment and entrepreneurship development.

The award, conferred on Monday, December 30, 2024, at the Arowolo Garden Hall, Fajuyi, Ado Ekiti, highlights Olubusoye’s impactful strides in fostering entrepreneurship, creating job opportunities, and supporting small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs). The organizers, in collaboration with partners in Belgium, noted that the honour was a testament to his significant role in advancing business development and human capital growth among Ekiti youth and young adults.

Speaking at the event, the leadership of the Ekiti Youth Entrepreneurs lauded Hon. Olubusoye, describing him as a shining light in the state. They commended his efforts in promoting Ekiti’s image through innovative empowerment programs and initiatives that have positively transformed lives.

In his acceptance speech, Hon. Olubusoye expressed gratitude to the EDUCRAFT Global Initiative for the recognition. He dedicated the award to Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, whom he credited for providing the enabling platform, and to God for the grace to achieve such milestones.

“This award will inspire me to further intensify efforts in driving more empowerment initiatives within the entrepreneurship ecosystem,” Olubusoye said. “My focus remains on addressing the challenges entrepreneurs face, particularly in identifying opportunities and resources needed to start and grow their businesses. I see entrepreneurship not just as a career path but as a viable solution to unemployment.”

The award has been widely celebrated, with many describing it as a well-deserved honour for Olubusoye, who is regarded as the first Youth Empowerment specialist in Ekiti State.
