The Lagos State government has appointed Osawere Austin Dayo, a corp who went viral for his dance, as a Youth Ambassador in the state.
Dayo, a graduate of Theatre Arts from the University of Ibadan (UI) made waves some days ago with his passionate dance at King’s College in Lagos where he’s serving for his youth service.
Dayo was captured in a video which made waves on social media showing him engaging in a callisthenics training session with pupils from King’s College.
His enthusiasm earned him praises despite initial attempts by an X user named Chioma to mock his efforts with a caption, “On top 33k?”
The Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Mobolaji Ogunlende, took notice of the video and expressed his interest to meet Dayo, impressed by his patriotic and energetic spirit.
In a post on his social media account dated Sunday, February 25, 2024, Ogunlende confirmed his meeting with the UI graduate and announced the state’s decision to appoint him as a Youth Ambassador.
“Captivated by @osapline the passionate corps member serving at Kings College, Lagos. I did not only find myself drawn by this online discourse but also with Mr. Governor. In light of this impact. “I am honored to Welcome @osapline as the Latest Youth Ambassador of Lagos State,” his tweet read.
