BY TIMOTHY AGBOR, OSOGBO

An unemployed graduate on Monday took to the entrance of the Osun State Government Secretariat to express his frustration over difficulties in finding a job.

The master degree holder and a father of three who was adorned in a black suit, Oladayo Oyebowale, stationed a banner at the state secretariat’s entrance in a bid to get the attention of the State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola.

The banner which disclosed the age of the job seeker to be 33 further revealed that he graduated from the University of Ado-Ekiti with a Second class division in Social Studies Education in 2010. The roll-up banner further revealed that Oyebowale is already running his Masters degree programme at the University of Ikirun, Kwara State.

Part of the inscriptions on the banner reads, “Governor Gboyega Oyetola, please, I need a job – I want to be a responsible father.”

He said that he has been jobless since January due to COVID-19. “I have worked in the construction site, schools but due to COVID-19, I am now jobless.

“My wife is about to leave me saying I could not take care of my children. The governor should help me,” he said.
