Nigeria’s State Governor Fayemi Sets History: Appoints Youngest Special Assistant In Country



As part of his efforts in ensuring participatory governance and bringing government to grassroot, the Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi has appointed a former prominent student leader as his Special Assistant on Students’ Matters; an office which he hopes will bring about a working relationship between the Government and the Governed.
It would be recalled that Dr. Fayemi, the Ekiti State Governor, had promised to choose among three nominees presented to him, who have got impeccable antecedence and of proven integrity, during his interactive session with the Student leaders at a parley about two months ago. The governor has thus fulfilled his promise in making history, by not only creating such an office but also confirming the appointment of Adeolu Oyebode as the most preferred.
By the virtue of the appointment, Oyebode sets history by becoming the first Special Assistant on Students’ Matters in Ekiti State and also the youngest Special Assistant in Nigeria. He is in his mid twenties.
Oyebode was the Chairman of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Joint Campus Committee Ondo and Ekiti States, between 2008 and 2010, a position which gave him the opportunity to negotiate on behalf of students and youths of Nigeria with Governments and institution administrators both at Local, State and National level and also a member of prominent youth organizations in Nigeria.
As at his appointment, the Ikere-Ekiti born activist is the Ekiti State Coordinator of Socialist Youth League and the director of programmes and planning of the International Youth Congress of Nigeria, the Nigerian charter of International Youth Congress (IYC) Inc. – United State of America (USA).
While reacting to the appointment and the history made, Oyebode said it was dedicated to the constituency that produced him.
“I give glory to God for the history made, as defined by you, but the fact remains that I return all accolades to that Students’ Constituency that produced me, there is every possibility that I might not have been considered for this assignment if I wasn’t produced from the students’ activism constituency and definitely, the confidence reposed on me by the students who are left on campus that made my recommendation must not also be dashed”
“I see this task as an assignment of my life; I must not fail these young ones, my principal Mr. Governor and my generation because of tomorrow”.

10 Important Cybersecurity Practices for your Business

  10 Important Cybersecurity Practices for your Business 1. EDUCATION  It’s much easier to prevent a hack than it is to recover from a hack. Once your company’s sensitive data is stolen through a ransomware attack, recovering it is often a long and arduous process. Teaching employees about basic security, personal cybersecurity, and the prevalence of cyber threats goes a long way in stopping ransomware attacks before they can really do damage. Your employees should understand that they might be targets of malicious actors, eager to exploit any entry they can find in your company. The average cost of a cyberattack is 3.86 million and the cumulative total for global cybercrime is expected to cost $6 trillion. If you don’t pay to train your employees about cybersecurity best practices eventually you may end up paying more in the long run. High quality and free trainings for your employees are available from several government resources including Department of Homeland S...

Nearly 500,000 workers are needed in cybersecurity roles around the country

The push to work from home during the coronavirus pandemic is straining cybersecurity professionals around the country tasked with ensuring workers are able to not only work efficiently from remote locations — but to do so safely. This rapid shift is a tall order for an industry that was already in need of skilled professionals long before the pandemic took hold.  Cybersecurity workers were taken off some or all of their typical security duties to assist with other IT-related tasks, including equipping mobile workforces, according to an April survey from global nonprofit (ISC)2, the largest association of certified cybersecurity professionals. The survey of 256 cyber pros found nearly half were re-tasked and that a quarter said cybersecurity incidents increased since the transition to remote work, with some seeing as many as double the number of incidents. Separate data from another nonprofit cybersecurity group, the Information Systems Security Association, found a 63% increase in...
