The National Youth Council of Nigeria, Orolu Local Government Area chapter of Osun State, has given an aide to the council chairman, Mr Raheem Lateef Erewunmi, seven days to remit an outstanding ₦250,000 empowerment fund reportedly released in May 2026.
The council alleged that the money, approved by the Executive Chairman of Orolu Local Government, Hon. Abolade Nureni Adekunle, popularly known as One Day, was released through Erewunmi for the benefit of the youth body but had yet to be remitted.
In a statement, the NYCN leadership expressed concern over the alleged non-remittance, noting that it had provided the necessary bank details for the transfer of the funds.
The council described the development as unacceptable, stressing that resources allocated for youth development should be handled with transparency and accountability.
It consequently issued a formal notice to Erewunmi, demanding that the outstanding ₦250,000 be paid within seven days of receiving the notice.
The youth body warned that failure to comply with the demand would compel it to take further formal steps, including referring the matter to the appropriate authorities.
The council reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the collective interests of youths in Orolu Local Government, insisting that it would continue to demand accountability over resources meant for their development.
