With a mentor who is passionate about young people, Dr. Ayo Ogunsan, Board Member, Lagos State Security Trust Funds.
A few months ago, I got literally scolded by some people here in Agege, my hood when I first came in contact with this security expert, Dr Ogunsan.
People in the political space and Deeperlife church members in Agege – I get a comment like, “Aha, Wale, you mean don’t know Dr. Ogunsan, Executive Motors”, someone also challenged me that, “Dr. Ayo facilitated international training for public office holders in Orile Agege LCDA”, Another people was like “Are you saying you don’t know him from Agege group of Deeperlife church” – although I was born DCLM member, amongst other comments.
Amongst those comments, I literally would want to slap my forehead for being guilty.
Interestingly, last week Saturday, during the Agege YPF leadership summit tagged SURGE.
Dr. Ogunsan was one of the great speakers scheduled to speak at the event.
He shared a lot of lessons centered around his topic, Raising Visionary Governors for a Gracious Nation-Building Responsibility, focusing on Governance and Leadership.
I was thrilled when he shared briefly about his early days in Agege, even as a young Pastor at that time.
He said that being a Christian doesn’t stop him from involving in Governance.
HERE’S AN AMAZING PART.
Dr. Ogunsan said that if he received clearance from the Governor General, That the Creator of heaven and earth, to vie for any political office, which is also his right as a child of God, HE would come BACK TO AGEGE to kick-start it.
Wow, I was melted that someone like him could still want to identify With Agege.
Yes, he had his secondary Education at St Joseph Secondary School Agege.
Of course, we know a lot of people who distance themselves from the local place of upbringing, when they have made it in life.
Hearing Dr. Ogunsan about his interest in Agege, really inspired me.
No wonder, he loves supporting some activities within Agege.
If great personalities like Dr. Ayo Ogunsan and other personalities who have gone far in life could still be proud of this popular area called AGEGE – Why am I not contributing positively to the image of this place.
