Comr. Benjamin Jeremiah Ojodale made significant contributions while in Abuja by actively promoting Kogi State as a leading state in Nigeria that offers youths ample opportunities for growth and development. He highlighted the inclusive leadership of His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, the Executive Governor of Kogi State, as a key factor driving these youth-focused initiatives.

The Kogi youth leader commended Ambassador Solomon Adodo for his visionary leadership in launching a program that directly benefits Nigerian youths.
Ojodale met with Comrade Olusola Oladoja, the current President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).
He commended Nigerian students for electing Oladoja through a transparent and democratic electoral process during the February 2025 NANS national convention.
Ojodale recognized Oladoja as the sole legitimate and globally recognized leader of NANS.

During the three-day event held at Palm Hotel Abuja, resource persons from both within and outside Nigeria attended and actively contributed valuable knowledge to the young people.

The Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other prominent Nigerians including former NYCN National President during President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida regime were also present, pledging their support to back youth leadership.
