The Chief Executive Officer Young Artists Art Hub, Mrs Olaide Moyet-Turner has started off plans to empower one thousand students (1,000) in three selected zones of Oyo State.


The empowerment which will take place within three months,  commenced on Wednesday 5th March in Iseyin, Oke-Ogun Zone of the state.


The award winning artist noted that she  selected three zones of the state for grassroots development in arts and craftsmanship.


The selected zones included Oke-Ogun, Oyo and Ibadan in Oyo State.

Speaking with the newsmen, Mrs Moyet-Turner said her intention was to hail young children into arts and craftsmanship for a better entrepreneurial development in the state.

The popular artist maintained that it is expedient talents are discovered at the grassroots especially in schools, being the most formal agency of socialization.

" Though, I am yet to receive any local and international supports, I will use my time, energy, funds for the development of children who are said to be the future of tomorrow."

" Tomorrow is now, and everything possible must be done to affect positively the now generation for an enviable later tomorrow. I have started, and I believe soonest the yearly empowerment will increase beyond five thousand (5,000) yearly.", she said.
She alluded to the fact that the developed nations such as China, gave an enabling environment for talents'  development which today has placed them above economically around the world.

Similarly, the award winning female young artist empowered other 200 children in arts and crafts specially for the 2025 Children's Day Event at National Museum of Unity, Aleshinloye, Ibadan.

Mrs Moyet-Turner believed introducing young children to arts and craftsmanship will help to increase reasoning, and socio-economic contributions in their respective communities, insisting that art is the fountain for any professional who wishes for outstanding and excellence in his chosen field or career.

The empowerment, designed to cover 1,000 students, will include provision of skills, start-up materials, and guidance to beneficiary students and communities and spill through the month of June, 2025.

 Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer, Young Artists Art Hub who appreciated the infrastructural development under the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde, and volunteers on the scheme enabling successes at every round, said schools targeted within Ibadan and Oyo Zones will have been covered by June ending.
