Concerned Ijebu-Igbo Youths have commended the Fecund Empire Foundation for its remarkable investment in youth empowerment through the Ijebu Got Talent 2026 initiative, describing it as a significant contribution to skills development, entrepreneurship and community growth.
The group expressed its appreciation following the distribution of grant funds worth over N8million to support talented individuals and entrepreneurs across various fields, including tailoring, barbering, hairdressing, music, photography and other skilled trades.
According to the group, the initiative goes beyond financial assistance, as it provides beneficiaries with opportunities to strengthen their businesses, develop their talents and work towards financial independence.
Concerned Ijebu-Igbo Youths noted that sustainable community development can be achieved when young people are provided with the necessary resources, encouragement and opportunities to transform their skills into productive ventures.
The group also highlighted the benefits of the initiative to its members, noting that empowering young people with financial support and recognition would contribute to economic growth and create opportunities for others within the community.
In its appreciation message, the group specifically acknowledged the founder of Fecund Empire Foundation, Otunba Simon Olalekan Oluwole and the co-founder, Hon. Ayodeji Ipaye, alongside the entire foundation team, for their commitment to investing in the potential of Ijebu youths.
The group described their efforts as worthy of recognition and encouragement, urging other individuals, organisations and community stakeholders to embrace similar initiatives that prioritise human capital development.
Addressing the beneficiaries, Concerned Ijebu-Igbo Youths congratulated them on receiving the grants and encouraged them to utilise the funds responsibly.
It further urged the beneficiaries to invest in their respective businesses, improve their professional skills, expand their operations and create employment opportunities for others.
According to the group, the success of the initiative should be measured not only by the financial support provided but also by the long-term impact on the beneficiaries, their families and the wider community.
The group reaffirmed its commitment to promoting youth development and community advancement, emphasising the importance of collective responsibility in building a prosperous Ijebu-Igbo.
It also called on well-meaning individuals, private organisations and community leaders to support initiatives that recognise talent, reward hard work and provide young people with the means to achieve their aspirations.
The statement concluded with a renewed expression of gratitude to the Fecund Empire Foundation for investing in the future of young people through the Ijebu Got Talent 2026 initiative.
“Together, we can build a community where talents are recognised, skills are rewarded, opportunities are created and young people are empowered to contribute meaningfully to society.”
