Rep Member Urges Constituents To Support President Tinubu’s Policies

The member representing Alimosho Federal Constituency in Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Ganiyu Ayuba, has urged Nigerians to continue supporting the various developmental initiatives and policies of the President Bola Tinubu government.

He made the call at a stakeholders’ meeting with members of his constituents at Agbado-Oke Local council development area of Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.

The meeting was facilitated by the Community Development Committee (CDC) of the Area to provide a platform for their representatives in both the Federal House of Representatives and the Lagos State House of Assembly, to render stewardship accounts in the last two years.

Ayuba said that the Federal government, under president Tinubu, is currently implementing policies and programmes, as well as executing legacy infrastructural projects that are capable of turning around the fortunes of the country.

He noted that the president had indirectly commenced the process of restructuring the country by creating development commissions for all the six geo-political zones.

According to him, the essence of the commissions is to further engender even development across Nigeria, and relief the pressure on the federal government.

“We just need to continue supporting and praying for our president to be able to see through these all these initiatives. Take for instance the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, when completed, will reduce travelling time from Lagos to Calabar as people won’t have cause to use the ever-busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when travel to any of the coastal states that will be linked by the Highway,” he said.

Developmental programmes

Aside sponsoring bills and motions, Ayuba, who is the Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Interior, highlighted some of the developmental programmes and projects that he had facilitated to his constituency in the last two years.

These include; construction of three blocks of classroom at Ilapo Primary School, distribution of fertilizers to farmers, fish farming training and empowerment, erection of streetlights among others.

The member, representing Alimosho Constituency 01 in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Lukmon Orelope, told the gathering that a General Hospital is already being proposed to be sited in Agbado Oke-Odo.

This, according to him, is an intervention project from the federal government through the office of the Special Adviser to the President on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

The stakeholders’ meeting provided an opportunity for the constituents to present their developmental challenges to both representatives.

Agbado Oke Odo Local Council Development Area is one of the development areas carved out of Alimosho Local government by the President Bola Tinubu while he was the Governor of Lagos State over 26 years ago.

It is the largest in terms of land mass and population in Alimosho, and this comes with a lot of challenges ranging from environmental, health, security to infrastructure deficit.

The participants, who are community leaders of various community development associations in the area, appealed to the representatives to help address some of these challenges.

Addressing Challenges

Both lawmakers assured the people of their commitment towards addressing the challenges and bringing more dividends of democracy to the areas.

The CDC Chairman, Earnest Kasumu, said the committee would collate all the concerns raised at the meeting and forward them to the constituency offices of the two lawmakers.

This, he said, would ensure proper monitoring and tracking of the issues as they are being tackled by the people’s representatives.
