During my campaign in 2019, I promised that no matter what the outcome of the election is, I will continue to put the interest of my people into consideration. This is just the beginning as I will not relent in keeping my promises.
“This empowerment used to be for Ibadan South East constituencies I and II but it has been extended to Ibadan North East as well. This is to ensure that both local governments are not left out in benefiting from this wonderful programme.
“Today, over 150 artisans and traders with Small Medium Enterprises were empowered today. This is to support our women and youths and it is targeted at reducing the poverty level in our society. We have beneficiaries in the past and the committee in charge would ensure equal chance for everyone. Those who didn’t benefit today will have their own in the subsequent empowerment.
“Other promises ranging from health care, scholarships, and other financial support will be take care of. The health care center along Omiyale House was given a face lift this foundation.” Iyiola said.
