Gov Adeleke Fulfills Promise, Presents Appointment Letter To Puff Puff Seller

In fulfilment of the promise made by the Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke to a puff-puff seller in Osogbo, Miss Oluwatosin Adejumo, the Governor has presented her with an appointment letter as a staff of the Government House.

The story of Oluwatosin went viral on social media last week after a roadside encounter with Governor Adeleke, during a public engagement at the State Secretariat, where the Governor saw her hawking puff-puff, he beckoned on her for patronage, and supported her with cash, and pledged further assistance.

Miss Adejumo, who holds a National Certificate in Education, NCE, had taken to hawking puff-puff to support her family.

During the brief presentation ceremony, attended by her father, Mr. Kayode Adejumo, and Mrs. Funmilayo Ajakaye, who had supported her trade, Governor Adeleke also announced a scholarship for Oluwatosin at Adeleke University, Ede, to give her more opportunity to further her studies.

The Governor praised her for demonstrating dignity in labour and the value of hard work which Osun people are known for.

He stressed that his administration would continue to encourage industrious youths, with policies focused on empowerment, education, and job creation.

In her response, Miss Adejumo expressed gratitude to the Governor, her family, and her benefactor, describing the opportunity as divine favour and a call to greater responsibility.

She urged Nigerian youths to embrace skill acquisition and diligence, insisting that “no effort is ever wasted.”
