The Corps members warmly welcomed the Commissioner, expressing their appreciation for his commitment and hands-on leadership. One of the beneficiaries remarked, "Oga, we are not surprised to see you. You are a hardworking Commissioner, and we are very happy to see you. We are proud to serve Osun State under the Imole initiative."

In his remarks, Hon. Olagunju commended the youth for their dedication, discipline, and contribution to public service. He urged them to remain focused and continue upholding the values of diligence and community service. He also reiterated the state government’s commitment to youth development and inclusive governance.

The Commissioner concluded by applauding Governor Ademola Adeleke for initiating the Imole Youth Corps, describing it as a visionary program that empowers young people and strengthens the state’s workforce.
