One of the findings from the constituency-wide research I conducted was the need to engage young people in our communities. I am committed to driving and implementing technology-focused and powered initiatives in partnership with members of my corporate network to provide opportunities for our youths.

If elected to represent the people of Ijebu Central, I will sponsor and support bills and motions aimed at youth development and invest heavily in skill development initiatives to ensure that young constituents are empowered with tools that will greatly enhance their prospects.

I have visited several primary healthcare centres in my constituency and many are in a deplorable state. There is a dire need for access to timely, quality and affordable healthcare as one of the needs of the people. I have thus proceeded, through the Adeola Azeez Community Care Foundation (AACCF), to immediately impact this sector via sanitation exercises and fixing basic amenities in some PHCs.

If elected, I will work to ensure that critical facilities are available in health centres across the constituency with a view to improving healthcare access for the elderly and drastically reducing the rate of maternal mortality. I will also support the establishment of a better legislative framework for primary healthcare.

I have had extensive private sector experience with several achievements recorded in every position I have occupied. I believe in hard work and efficiency, and I believe in accountability. These are values that I will bring with me to the public sector if elected to represent my people. With me, they will have a representative who truly cares about them and will see to it that their voices are heard and their concerns, addressed.

I believe strongly that our women need all the support that they can get to actualise their full potential. As a staunch advocate for women, I know that women’s economic empowerment is key in improving the fortunes of any community.

I have begun making investments in this regard; in March, to commemorate Women’s Month, over 300 aged, disabled and widowed women drawn from communities in all three LGAs which make up the constituency were empowered with cash grants and food staples . Women farmers were also empowered with funds.

As an elected representative, I will work to secure women’s political, economic and social rights via legislation and will continue to invest in uplifting our women in Ijebu Central.

Infrastructural development is an integral aspect of economic growth. Our communities are largely agrarian and our people thus need good roads, for instance, to be able to get their produce to the market. Power supply is also a major challenge and other basic amenities are lacking in different parts of the constituency. If elected, the infrastructure deficit is one which I will work to address by seeking federal intervention.

I will also leverage relationships and use resources within my network to drive development in this sector.

The covid pandemic severely impacted the global and national economy. The effects are even more apparent in smaller communities like those which mostly make up my constituency.

Poverty and unemployment have been further exacerbated and there’s an urgent need to create more opportunities for our people by fostering access to finance and access to markets.

We are the largest producer of plantain and fish in the Southwest. We are also known for our signature Garri Ijebu and pottery communities. We, therefore, have exportable and economically viable opportunities. My drive is to strengthen what we already have and create new opportunities through partnerships with development agencies, corporate organizations and other relevant agencies.
