"Dayo is a firm believer in the Nigerian dream, which lies in the hands of the next generation to bring to fruition leveraging on the gains of today. Dayo possesses the required capacity and dexterity to drive the much clamoured inclusion of youths in governance, because he understands the specific challenges of the average Nigerian youths. He is a beacon of hope for the ordinary Nigerian youth, in whom sons and daughters of nobody have found refuge.
Prior to his nomination as National Youth Leader of APC, Dayo served as a Permanent Member of Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) where he made ground breaking contributions. He always moved from one school to the other, ensuring that the policies of government gets to the targeted beneficiaries and set standards were met.

Dayo Isreal, the APC National Youth Leader to be appointed as the Minister for Youth Development.
This I do in line with my conviction that he is “BEST FIT” for the Job at a time as this.
