During his university years, Juwon distinguished himself as a vibrant student leader and advocate for student welfare. He served as Vice President of the Kabba Students Union (2012/2013) and later as Treasurer of NAOS National (2015/2016).

After completing his studies, he participated in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), further broadening his national outlook and commitment to service.

Juwon’s dedication to youth and educational development led to his appointment as Special Assistant on Students Affairs to the Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, where he gained firsthand experience in governance, policy engagement, and legislative processes.

He also served as immediate past Secretary General Kabba-Bunu National Youth Council of Nigeria.

He has also played significant roles in political mobilization and strategic communication.
