A renowned industrialist, Obeisun is also the founder of the popular Timsed Broadcasting Service, which incorporates radio and television stations located in Ijebu-Jesa, was unanimously elected at the National Executive Committee/Annual General Meeting of the organisation, hosted by the Lagos branch last Saturday.
Other executive members elected at the event included a seasoned journalist, Mr. Dele Ogunyemi as the General Secretary; an IT technologist/designer, Mr. Niyi Daranijo (Treasurer); an educationist, Mr. Olutayo Abogan (Publicity Secretary); and a Lagos-based investment advisor. Mr. Yinka Agbejimi (Welfare Officer).
In his inaugural address, Obeisun emphasised the importance the new executives attaches to community socioeconomic development and massive gainful employment for the teeming youths through industrialization and agribusiness.
In this regard, he assured that he would further use his God-given endowments through Public Private Partnership to empower the community youths and women noting that this would serve as a feasible means to checkmate the notorious japa syndrome.
According to him, young graduates from the community would be supported to be employers of labour through involvement in cottage industries and agribusiness rather than being perpetual job seekers.
Obeisun beckoned on well-meaning indigenes, friends of the community and the Diaspora members of the IJSC based in the United States of America, United Kingdom, Canada and other parts of the world to rally support for the new initiatives by being more proactive stressing that this is highly desirable in the overall interest of the organization and the community as a whole.
