Nollywood actor and special adviser on Arts and Tourism in Kwara state, Femi Adebayo has stated his goal in office as the empowerment of the youth. Adebayo on Monday, March 28 in Lagos said that “we will create an enabling environment for the youths to thrive in whatever they want to do”. He said that lack of empowerment for the youth was why “we are experiencing a lot of vices in the country, as well as the absence of love for one another.

I will also promote arts and culture in my state, in line with whatever we plan to do for the youth. “The youths need a lot of mentoring and re-orientation plus empowerment, for them to be able to stand on their own,” he said. He stressed that his office would be developed in such a way that it will help to generate enough Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for Kwara state and its people. He, however, said that actors going into government are also just on another call to service. “It is a matter of serving and serving well, representing the people and doing the needful, to strive to better the lot of their people and make a mark. “As an artist, one is required do what is expected by helping and contributing meaningfully to the growth and development of the state.

“There is nothing wrong if you want to serve your people, regardless of who you are and It will make us campaign more about the arts, culture and tourism,” he said. Recall that Femi Adebayo was appointed as Special Assistant (SA) on Arts, Culture and Tourism to Kwara state governor Abdulfatah Ahmed on February 22, 2016.
