A popular employment and job search expert, Dr. Dipo Awojide, has teased the immediate former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye, saying he is welcome to the world of unemployment.
In what appeared like a friendly banter, Awojide, a seasoned coach who offers lessons on jobs search and skills development, was responding to Owoeye, who had posted on Twitter that he was searching for a job.
NPO Reports that Owoeye was Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly until the House was dissolved. Timothy had spent 16 years in the House emerging Speaker in 2019.
He lost his last re-election bid after the take over of the state from the All Progressive Congress by the former opposition Peoples Democratic Party. A new Speaker, 38 year old Wale Egbedun was elected on Tuesday.
“Abeg, which account(s) should I follow for regular job updates? I’m job hunting now,” Owoeye himself had started the banter.
Responding, Awojide had said, “Good morning sir and welcome to the world of unemployment. Thank you for your service to Osun State. If you are looking for a job urgently I would recommend that you follow BTDTHub
“Also, send your CV to BTDTHub. Let us see what we can do for you.” While responding to Awojide, Owoeye had said he would be more interested in a job in the area of public sector. “Morning Dipo, and thank you for the offer. Do you, by any chance, recruit for the FG? Delivering on Asiwaju’s renewed hope is our collective responsibility.
“I became a councillor at 27 and also spent 16 years at the HoA, so na public sector job offers I want.”
Awojide had promised the former Speaker “Let me speak to my leaders in the Presidency in Abuja sir.”
