Osun Deputy Speaker Empowers Constituents
THE Deputy Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Akinyode Oyewusi, on Wednesday empowered constituents across the ten wards of Ife North Local Government.
The lawmaker said the empowerment was part of his continuous effort to promote grassroots development and economic self-reliance.
The Deputy Speaker appreciated the people of Ife North for the confidence they reposed in his leadership and for their unwavering support for effective and people-oriented representation.
According to a statement by his spokesperson, Segun Amure, a total of 15 Bajaj motorcycles and 10 deep freezers were distributed to beneficiaries drawn from all ten wards of the local government.
The statement noted that the exercise was organised in honour of constituents who lost their lives in the Akinlalu tragedy last month.
The Deputy Speaker described the event as both an act of compassion and a reaffirmation of his resolve to continue supporting livelihoods across his constituency.
In his words, “This empowerment reflects a renewed commitment to grassroots empowerment and economic independence.”
Speaking further, Hon. Oyewusi noted that “the programme represents the first phase of a broader empowerment scheme aimed at boosting small-scale enterprises, enhancing artisans’ productivity, and promoting sustainable livelihoods.
“This empowerment marks the beginning of a series of initiatives designed to improve the lives of our people.
“Other items, such as generators, televisions, washing machines, hand dryers, farming equipment, solar and inverter fans, grinding machines, tailoring machines, and vulcanizing machines, are already on ground; what remains is to fix a date for their distribution. There are also more motorcycles and freezers to be shared in subsequent batches. Our focus remains on promoting self-reliance and ensuring that every ward in Ife North benefits from people-oriented programmes.”
Beneficiaries across the ten wards expressed appreciation for the Deputy Speaker’s impactful representation and commitment to community development.
“This empowerment means a lot to us. The Deputy Speaker has shown true commitment to uplifting grassroots entrepreneurs,” said Hon. Mike Akande, Chairman of Ife North Local Government.
“Hon. Oyewusi’s gesture proves he genuinely cares about his constituents. He’s setting a good example for other leaders,” noted Adesoye Oyewole, the Party Chairman.
Reaffirming his commitment to purposeful service, Oyewusipledged to sustain inclusive, people-oriented initiatives that promote self-reliance, dignity of labour, and sustainable livelihoods across his constituency.
