A World at School recently announced that Chaste Inegbedion, a Rotary Youth Leadership award recipient and UPF Young Ambassador of Peace, is its newest youth global ambassador.

As a Global Youth Ambassador of A World at School in Africa, Chaste will be playing a key role in the global movement of young leaders working together to get every child in school and learning, while also further connecting public spirited individuals and Institutions to help increase support around its innovative range of campaign #GirlsWithTheOrangeBook.

“I’m proud to be partnering with ‘A World at School’ as a Global Ambassador,” Chaste Inegbedion said that he is committed to speak up and take action for education in his community by adopting technology – using SMS platform to crowd-source funds for motherless homes, Girl-Child education, Special and Abandoned Children.

“I have been fortunate enough to work with a lot of Children, Motherless Homes and the Save Pwashikai Campaign in my career, but being selected as a Global Ambassador towards raising awareness of meeting the MDGs (Millennium Development Goals) deadline of making education a reality for 58 million children who are still denied the right to education and hundreds of millions more who are not learning has always been my target as an African,” Inegbedion noted that he looks forward to contributing his quota to making the MDGs goal a reality, by working with concerned institutions and bodies like the Lagos State Motherless Homes among others.

His relationship with the Lagos State Motherless Homes would bring the excitement around campaigns like Education Advocates on the continent as well as the rest of the world.

Just In: APC expels Rauf Aregbesola

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has expelled Rauf Aregbesola, a former Minister of Interior and ex-Osun State Governor, over alleged anti-party activities.

 

Aregbesola, who was a two-term governor of Osun State had been having a running battle with the Osun chapter of the APC in recent times.

 

The disagreement with the APC led him into forming a factional group within the party, known as The Osun Progressive (TOP) which later mutated into the Omoluabi Caucus.

 

 

 

A letter from the APC leadership seen by newsmen on Wednesday officially confirmed Aregbesola’s expulsion.

 

The letter, titled “Allegations of Anti-Party Activities – Conveyance of State Exco Decision to You,” accused him of breaching Article 21 of the party’s constitution, which outlines disciplinary measures for members.

 

The letter read in part, “At the end of the investigation, the State Executive Committee (SEC) considered the report of the Disciplinary Committee. Having carefully reviewed the findings and recommendations, the SEC resolved to approve your immediate expulsion from the APC.

 

 

The decision was predicated on clear evidence of your actions, which undermined the unity and integrity of the party. As a result, you are no longer a member of the APC and must refrain from holding yourself out as one or acting on behalf of the party in any capacity.”
