This is in addition to organising free summer classes during the just concluded long vacation for junior and senior secondary school students in the 20 select schools in his constituency comprising two local government areas where the students received lectures in key subjects including English Language, Mathematics, Economics, Physics and Chemistry.

Agboola, who represents Oye\Ikole Federal Constituency, said duringa visit to the schools for to assess the empowerment scheme, tagged “Hon Kehinde Agboola Education Support Project” that distribution of the past question and answer textbooks (1988 -2016) to the SS3 students was basically to prepare them for their forthcoming final year examinations.

The lawmaker said the coaching classes whereby over 60 first grade teachers were engaged to give the students superb lectures was borne out of his desire to mentor the younger ones with the desire to mould them into successful individuals and discourage them from embracing crime and other social vices.

Agboola, who charged governments and those occupying leadership positions to spare a thought for the younger ones by lending hands of support to prepare them mentally for the future through education, harped on the need to address the “generation challenge” facing the country.

He said: “That we have aged leaders struggling with their health ruling us today is a clear indication that Nigerian leadership class has failed over the time. I used to say that I didn’t need a second term when I was chairman of my local government because I wanted to move up higher and leave the post behind for younger generation I’ve groomed.

“Many of those aged men who are still ruling us today ought to have long moved up to become Secretary Generals of the United Nations (UN). When we have a President who is over 70 years, when will the younger ones get there? But because they have failed in leadership to mentor the younger generation, you still see them there. It is a generation challenge.
