Senator AbdulFatai Buhari is a man of integrity, that has contributed to the human development through his various empowerment and humanitarian schemes since he ventured into active politics, but it is strange and embarrassing that he abandoned his constituency project that could have been utilized for the great benefit of youths and students of Ogbomoso South Local Government Area of Oyo State, in this digital age.
In 2003, BAF as popularly called put smile on the faces of people(parents and students) through the scholarship scheme for his constituency.
He paid the National Examination Council (NECO)fees for all the SSS 3 students in Ogbomoso South,North,Orire Federal Constituency when he was representing the constituency at the green chamber in Abuja, an effort which is laudable and great. This gesture suppose to be consolidated in this era.
Buhari,The Chairman,Senate Committee of ICT and Cybercrime then,built an ICT centre during his first tenure as Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,the building is sited on a piece of land at The Apostolic Church Grammar School,Ajegunle,Ogbomoso but investigations carried out by WWW.OGBOMOSOINFO.TK reveal that since the completion of the edifice in 2016 during his first tenure at the red chamber,there is no tangible progress in terms of equipping the center with any suitable gadgets. Therefore the building has become another white-elephant project.The building has been under lock and key since completion and has become shelter for reptiles.
The ICT Centre should be open to serve its basic purposes,the distinguish Senator should as a matter of urgency complete the good work he facilitated some years ago in order to help alot of indigent students whose parent cannot afford to pay a dim for their training in ICT. If this centre is utilize fully it will serve as a medium of digital empowerment and enlightenment for youths and students of Ogbomoso South.
The centre can be equipped with functional computers and ICT training gadgets, fortified with trainers in ICT who can educate and impact practical skills on youths and students in Ogbomoso south, such as basic computer concepts, Windows Operating System training, Graphics, Information management, application and web development,Desktop Applications (Microsoft Word,Microsoft Excel,Corel Draw,Page Maker) e.t.c.
This gesture will provide employment to their trainers and most importantly give youths and students basic knowledge that can be transform into skills and expertise. This will make many youths to become employers of labours instead of job seekers.
It could be a deliberate attempt to waste tax payers money,If the building in question is left there wasting away without using it for the intended purpose. It is important to stress it that enlighten the youths and students in ICT will go along way in creating a lot of opportunity and prospect for youths in the local government.
