One year after leaving Oyo Industry Ministry,Dapo Lam Adesina’s graduate loan scheme project executed amidst excitement and praises from beneficiaries. It was a day of joy and great excitement on Tuesday 24th,May 2016 when about 31 beneficiaries of the graduate industrial loan scheme received their cheques totalling over Ten Million Naira (N10m) after waiting for over a year.
The scheme which was initiated by Hon Dapo Lam Adesina two(2) years ago when he was appointed as the Commissioner for Industry,Applied Science and Technology by the Oyo State Governor,Senator ABIOLA AJIMOBI was set up to assist young graduates who intends to be entrepreneurs but could not access loan from financial institution.
The scheme after it was kickstarted by the then Commissioner Dapo Lam met a brick wall due to the fact that Omo Oloore resigned to contest as a member of the House of Representatives. Even though after his resignation he kept in touch with the beneficiaries assuring them of his belief in the completion of the laudable programme. The beneficiaries who were very ecstatic when Hon Dapo Lam Adesina walked into the ceremony hall today gave kudos to the young man for being truly a lover of the youth.
One of the beneficiaries who spoke after the event said he has never seen a politician like Hon Dapo Lam Adesina who he said always keeps to his words.He praised the Governor of Oyo state Senator Abiola Ajimobi for making sure that the programme initiated by Omo Oloore which is meant to better the lot of the youth was completed.
