OONI OF IFE SIGNS N1BN MOU TO ENPOWER YOUTHS, WOMEN IN ILE-IFE
The House of Oduduwa and the Bank of Industry have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which would provide loans to youths in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, signed for the House of Oduduwa, while the Acting Managing Director of the BoI, Waheed Olagunju, signed for the financial institution.
Olagunju explained that the initiative was aimed at reducing youth unemployment in Ile-Ife communities.
Among the features of the MOU is the provision of N1 billion loan at an interest rate of 7.5 per cent to the youths.
According to Olagunju, a substantial part of the loan will be disbursed to women, youths and businesses that show high sustainability.
He said: “We have been partnering with multinational and corporate companies, but today we are collaborating with traditional rulers.
“These are people who have access to the grass root.
“Partnering with them is a way of democratising entrepreneurship.
“We identify areas in which communities have comparative advantages and invest in them.
“The beneficiaries will be selected using the world best practices.
“For this edition, about 15 to 20 per cent of them will be those who deal in local products.
“We are working with the entrepreneurship centre of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.
“Applications are expected to be submitted and a joint committee of BoI team, the Oduduwa House and OAU team would access it.
“They are to be monitored by members of the committee and elders, especially the traditional rulers.
“We estimate that about 5,000 youths will benefit from this.”
On his part, the Ooni emphasized the need to get youths empowered, saying that was necessary for the nation’s continuous growth.
He subsequently challenged monarchs across the country to be dedicated to developing youths in their communities.
Oba Ogunwusi said: “I would not mind going hungry to empower the youths.
“If the youths of today are empowered, many generations will benefit from them and poverty will be abolished.
“Today’s event is another giant step in the history of Ile-Ife.
“We are molding the future of our youths in the areas of agriculture and agro-allied industry.
“I put a challenge to other monarch’s to engage in community partnership.
“We should stop relying on government.
“There are so many initiatives that community leaders can tap into.
“Community leaders should go into partnership with multinational companies and financial institutions to benefit there people.”
The monarch also said the N1 billion funding would help the youth of the entire House of Oduduwa and beyond.
He said monarchs should think of what they could do for their people and support government in its empowerment moves.
The royal father noted that government at all levels should set up a body that will particularly focus on local contents initiative.
Oba Ogunwusi said the body should also be responsible for quality assurance and control, adding that with this, over 60 per cent contracts will have local input.”

DONALD TRUMP TO DEPORT UP TO THREE MILLION IMMIGRANTS..... HIS FIRST TELEVISION INTERVIEW
President-elect Donald Trump, in his first television interview since his surprise election victory, repeated his vows to build a wall across America's southern border, deport criminal illegal aliens, and repeal and replace ObamaCare.
Donald Trump said he planned to immediately deport or jail as many as three million undocumented immigrants, as he set out his priorities in the first television interview since his election.
The interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" is to be broadcast on Sunday with millions expected to tune in for clues on how the billionaire businessman-turned-politician will govern the country.
Since Tuesday's election triumph, Trump had appeared to tone down his rhetoric, notably suggesting he might be willing to reconsider a pledge to scrap President Barack Obama's signature health reform, the so-called Obamacare.
He made clear, though, in excerpts of Sunday's interview that he still intended to crack down on undocumented immigrants in the country, focusing on people with criminal records.
"What we are going to do is get the people that are [criminals] and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers," Trump said. "We have a lot of these people. Probably two million, it could be even three million. We are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate.
After the border is secured and after everything gets normalized," Trump added, "we're going to make a determination on [other undocumented immigrants] ... But before we make that determination ... we want to secure our border.
Early in the GOP primaries, Trump had vowed to immediately deport all 11 million people living in the country illegally. But his comments Sunday echoed House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who told CNN that the Republican administration was "not looking for mass deportations."
"We are not going to do that," Ryan emphasized in the interview that aired earlier Sunday.
The real estate mogul also echoed remarks he made to the Wall Street Journal earlier this week, in which he said he favors keeping the prohibition against insurers denying coverage because of patients’ existing conditions, and a provision that allows parents to provide years of additional coverage for children on their insurance policies.
"It'll be just fine. We're not going to have, like, a two day period and we're not going to have-- a two-year period where there's nothing," Trump said.
Trump also appeared to back away from his promise to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, over her use of a private email server. Trump made such a promise during the second presidential debate against Clinton during a rhetorical duel that ended with Trump saying if he was president, "you'd be in jail."
"She did some bad things, I mean she did some bad things," Trump said, to which Stahl responded, "I know, but a special prosecutor?"
"I don't want to hurt them, I don't want to hurt them," Trump said. "They’re, they’re good people. I don't want to hurt them."
Regarding another of his campaign promises, Trump vowed to nominate a Supreme Court justice that would be pro-life and pro-Second Amendment. However, the president-elect showed no interest in re-litigating last year's Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marraige, an issue of departure between him and Vice President-elect Mike Pence.
"It's irrelevant because it was already settled. It's law. It was settled in the Supreme Court. I mean it’s done," Trump said, later adding, "I'm fine with that."
Trump touched on the protests that have broken out across the nation since his election, complaning that the coverage represented a "double standard."
"If Hillary had won and if my people went out and protested, everybody would say, 'Oh, that's a terrible thing,'" he said. "And it would have been a much different attitude. There is a different attitude."
However the president-elect said that he was "saddened" by reports that some of his supporters had harassed minorities since Tuesday's vote.
"And I say, 'Stop it.' ... I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it."
Trump also told "60 Minutes" he would eschew the $400,000 annual salary for the president, taking only $1 a year.
Trump's campaign was marked by derogatory comments about race, religion, gender and disability.
However, in his victory speech, he vowed to be a President for "all Americans".
