In a statement made available to the media, Comrade Oyediran drew the attention of the Senator to the issue of the non-availability of an industrial training funds office in Osun state, a reality that needs to be done away with. He said ‘the importance of the Industrial Training Funds (ITF) to the growth and development of the state is conspicuous; therefore steps should be taken to ensure its accessibility for the public.”
“The ITF office is needed by students of tertiary institutions in their various periods of compulsory industrial training programs; therefore we must understand the importance of paying attention to that federal establishment. Since it was gazetted, the ITF has yet to have an office of its own in the state and this has created a lot of inconveniences and complications for students. Osun State is home to more than 20 Tertiary institutions and this informs you on the high number of students and young people who need to maintain contact with the ITF, a figure of around 5,000 students are affected”
Comrade Kunle Oyediran in his statement further stressed on the inconveniencies encountered by students who have to go beyond the borders of the state, to Ibadan before submitting their logbooks and other vital documents for proper filing and documentation. He submitted that in the growth and development of the state, students play a vital role because they are the next generation administrators in the state therefore all possible steps to protect them from hazards and certain avoidable inconveniences which could lead to future complications, should be taken.
Comrade Oyediran who also doubles as the Public Relations Officer of OYE 4 OSUN Sociopolitical Group, concluded his statement thus “Distinguished Senator, this humble charge given in good faith comes on behalf all students in Osun State, and was a major clamor at the tour of tertiary institutions embarked upon by leadership of the Buhari National Students Support Group, during the campaign for the 2019 general elections. One of the resolutions decided was to advocate for ITF to have an office in Osogbo the capital City, within the shortest time possible in order to alleviate the plight of students and young people in Osun state.”
“As progressives, we are not in doubt of your ability to make the necessary contacts towards ensuring that this need of students schooling in Osun State is met. You are in our highest esteem”
