The Senator representing Ogun West senatorial district and Chairman Senate Committee on Appropriation, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, has commissioned several developmental projects in parts of his constituency.
The latest instalment of such an initiative happened in the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government area of the district where a total of 23 ground-breaking projects were commissioned over two days in an unprecedented fashion.
Party leaders, royal fathers, community leaders and several constituents across the Local Government gathered in their communities to witness yet another landmark achievement of the senator who has facilitated and commissioned similar projects in the other four local government areas of the district.
The events began with the commissioning of 3 blocks of 24 classrooms and an ICT Centre at Sango Ota High School before moving to Ijoko town to cut the tape of a newly built town hall.
Road projects commissioned in Ota State Constituency include Ilogbo Road, Maltina Road, Arije Road, Anglican Odopako Road, High Court Road, Iju-Ebiye Township Road and Atan Market Road.
Other projects commissioned include Primary healthcare centres at Iyesi and Itele communities, and ultramodern shops at Oba TT Dada market Ota and Ajibawo tows respectively.
In the Ado/Igbesa constituency of the local government, Lusada -Alapoti road (section 1), Agbara township road, Igbesa-Ejila Awori road (Section 1), Library and Iloro road were declared open.
Similarly, two primary healthcare centres at Ejila Awori and Alapoti towns donated by the Senator were commissioned; just as the Ado ultramodern market was opened.
Speaking at one of the locations, the traditional ruler of Abule Iroko, HRH, Oba Adefemi Feyijimi, Oniroko of Iroko town, commended the senator, fondly called YAYI, for giving succour to the community. In his words, “We are happy and appreciate Senator YAYI for this effort. Our people have suffered due to the neglect of the road, but, amazingly, a Senator came to our rescue. This is unprecedented in the annals of legislative representation to my memory”.
A school teacher, Mrs Tayo Adebisi, who witnessed the 24 classrooms at Sango was full of praise for Senator Adeola describing him as a man with a large heart. According to her, “We have never seen this type of large heart by a public office holder. Look at the size of these classrooms and even the ICT centre. If all our elected officials care for the people like this and use the money to serve the people, Nigeria will be a far better place.
Similarly, a community leader at Ejila Awori, Mr. Micheal Whesu could not contain his excitement at the health centre built by the senator. “We have lacked a healthcare facility in this environment for long and several pleas to the authorities have proved abortive. Senator YAYI came to our help and our people no longer have to travel to Igbesa town to access basic treatment”. He said.
