If you witness an accident or are involved in one anywhere in Ogun State, please call 08112000033 for emergency ambulance assistance. Many would ask, “why not 112?”. 112 is Nigeria’s national emergency number, it is a federal call center. Calls have to be taken, information assessed and then routed to the appropriate state emergency responders. This can cost valuable time and communication issues if the first operator is not familiar with the area. Nigeria is still working towards the infrastructure required for a Location-Based Emergency Call Routing {Next Generation 112 NG112 or Next Generation 911 NG911}, which is the modern age seamless, unified and localized emergency response system. Until then, calling Ogun State’s direct ambulance line is the faster option. That is what is practical for now. Save this number: 08112000033. Ogun State’s ambulance service is also FREE for emergencies and treatment in approved health facilities for the first 48 hours following an accident. In an emergency, every second counts. Save the number. Share it. You could help save a life.

Yesterday’s Gen Z Meets Yayi event was more than an engagement between a Governorship candidate and young people. It was an opportunity to see, firsthand, the kind of relationship Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola Yayi @Sen_AdeolaYAYI envisions between government and the people of Ogun State. There is not a single person who attended yesterday’s Gen Z Meets Yayi event who would leave without a clearer understanding of Senator Yayi’s vision and good intentions for Ogun State. After answering ALL the questions thrown at him by Gen Z in their finest element, he took the audience through what he has done across different sectors and, perhaps more importantly, went on record to say that the people of Ogun State should hold him to the highest standards of accountability. He made it clear that when it comes to taking responsibility, nobody else should bear the blame. The buck stops with him. For me, however, yesterday’s engagement was about something even bigger. A few weeks ago, when we had the opportunity to meet Senator Yayi, we spoke about the need to bridge the communication gap between government and the people, particularly young people and Gen Z, who often feel the most excluded from government policy formulation and planning. One thing Senator Yayi and his team particularly emphasised was the importance of creating spaces where young people are not merely spoken to, but listened to, taken seriously and given a meaningful stake in governance. Yesterday was the most practical demonstration of that conversation. The idea behind ITESIWAJU must go beyond a change of political administration or a new development slogan. It must translate into a different relationship between government and citizens, one in which young people have a seat at the table, their questions are welcomed, their ideas are considered and their contributions find expression and application in government. If yesterday’s engagement is anything to go by, the conversation about giving young people a meaningful role in the affairs of Ogun State is one that Senator Yayi intends to take seriously. And that, perhaps, is one of the most important conversations to emerge from Gen Z Meets Yayi. Gen Z Talks, Yayi Listens!
