The New Diplomat earlier reported that Gov. Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State donated the sum of N5 million and a three-bedroom bungalow for the season 5 winner being an indigene of Ogun.

He also appointed him as the Youth Ambassador of the state.

The governor expressed the hope that his good character, excellence, good virtues, calmness and integrity would serve as a model to youths in the state.

In his words, ” iIt is hoped that you will help inspire our teeming youths to channel their energies towards positive engagements and shun vices, such as robbery, drug abuse, cultism, advanced fee fraud, cybercrimes and kidnapping, amongst other negative tendencies,” he said.

He described Laycon’s conduct in the House as a demonstration of the “Omoluabi” virtue, which he said was the primary ingredient of an average Ogun indigene.”

The governor said he was impressed with Laycon’s display while in the House, just as he urged parents and guardians to help in nurturing the talents of their children and wards in order for them to be useful to themselves and the society in the future.

He maintained that parents and guardians should realise that there was life outside the four walls of classrooms, “as entertainers are also successful men and women, who are contributing to national development”.

Abiodun said that his administration would continue to unleash the creative energies of the youth and the generality of the people as innovators, academics, researchers, entertainers and creative artists in public and private sectors and, formal and informal sectors, for the continued development of the nation.

Laycon emerged the Season 5 winner as he walked away with N85 million, a two-bedroom apartment and a brand new SUV with more endorsement deals and opportunities.
