PROTOCOL
I warmly welcome you all to the Inauguration of three blocks of classrooms in two various primary schools here in our own dear federal constituency.
These constituency projects make it 5th school buildings facilitated to Agege within the space of four years as your humble representative at the 8th Assembly of House of Representatives.
The future of nation through our children should be paramount to us in any capacities we are call to serve, through education we owe them solid educational foundation by providing them with the basic facilities for qualitative learning.
Hence, I was inspired to facilitate these projects to support our children amongst other projects as a Member, committee of works at the 8th House of Representatives.
These projects we are inaugurating today had been awarded two years ago and were completed few months ago the inauguration was delayed till today due to Covid-19 Lockdown.
Projects such as these will afford our children opportunity to continue learning in conducive classrooms for proper assimilation of studies. It will also aim at reducing the numbers of pupils in classrooms for better and efficient performance.
Its important to note that this school project is to also complement the giant strides of the Lagos state Government in education sector – since the administration of Former Lagos State Governor, Our National Leader,
All progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, down to the present Administration Led by His Excellency, Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu, with the support of Lagos state House of Assembly, under the speakership of Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the passion towards rapid growth and development of our people and community will remain paramount to me in every opportunity I have to serve.
This explains the unveiling of other constituency projects which I was able to bring to our people here in Agege.
These include donation of Eight (8) boreholes in various wards in Agege such as Provision of Motorized Borehole with 4 overhead plastic Tanks at Ogunnaike Community, Papa Asafa; Solar powered Water point at MajaroAjegunle, others at Akinlabi Street, Magbon Agbotikuyo; AP Agege by Akerele Area; Ago Ebira, Idi Mongoro; Itogbe Street; Lateef Street by Olowo-okere and Olabua Compound, Orile Agege.
Streets Light Projects were also donated to Alaagba Community Development Area; Shiaba; Ifeloju street, Oko-oba and Olabua Community Development Area
Donation of Electricity Transformer to Alaagba Community Development Area.
All the above projects were facilitated from the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as a member of Agriculture and Rural Development committee.
I also facilitated road repair from Magoro to Abule-Egba side of Agege on Agege Motor Road through Federal Emergency Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) Awarded to Julius Berger As a member of House committee for FERMA.
Furthermore, I have been able to contribute my quota towards Nation’s building in terms of sponsoring Motions and Bill, as well as empowering some of our people.
Part of my result-oriented Bill and Motions include; Bill on Chartered Institute of Environmental and Public Health Management of Nigeria, 2019; Motion on Danger of Pilots Flying under the influence of Alcohol and Psychoactive Substances; Motion on Deplorable State of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and Agege Motor Road; Motion on illegal Use of Casual Labour by Employers of Labour in Nigeria as this is contrary to the Provisions of Labour Act Cap L1, 2004.
You would recalled that since my political journeys in various positions, as a CDA Secretary, Vice-Chairman, Executive Chairman and House of Representatives member, I have not taken the welfare of my people for granted.
Interestingly, my political achievements have been credited to my sincere loyalty to our foremost Leader and mentor, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Respected National Leader of our Great party – All Progressives Congress and to the people of Agege.
Todays school inauguration is another dividend of progressiveness for our people who have children in our various public schools, which lots of us here also attended.
The three schools building we are inaugurating today shall the dedicated as follow:
Ore-Ofe Primary School complex shall be dedicated to Rt Hon.(Dr) Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Speaker, Lagos state House of Assembly and Chairman, Conference of State Assemblies Speakers, Nigeria – For his laudable contributions towards growth and development of Agege and Lagos as a whole, as a legislator per excellence in this state of excellence.
Its God who appoints leaders at its appointed time. While we all need to support those appointed leaders for the development and progress of humanity.
In addition, the Oyewole primary school project shall be dedicated to the late father of our leader, High Chief Safari Adaranijo in memory of late Chief Sulaimon Adaranijo, the first Ekerin of Orile Agege, who happened to be my Grand Father.
You would recall that previous school projects both at Moses Orimolade primary school and Anwarul-Islam primary school were dedicated to Olu of Agege, His Royal Majesty, Oba Kamila Isiba and Alaige of Orile Agege, Oba Hakeem Agbedeyi separately.
Just like Orile Agege Local Council Development secretariat was dedicated to our National Leader,Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and Odunmaku Health Center, Oyewole, in honour of our state leader, Cardinal James Odunbaku while I was the Executive Chairman with the support of my Vice-Chairman now performing Chairman, in person of Hon. Johnson Babatunde and the then dependable Secretary to the Local Government (SLG), Now Special Adviser to Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in person of Hon AfolabiAyantayo not forgetting other productive management team.
Other giant strides we are making – are distribution of empowerment items for our people such as sewing machines, generating sets for boreholes, grinding machines to be distributed at my then Constituency office.
I am hopeful that our people will make the utmost use of all these amenities to deliver the most anticipated better community of our dream.
In addition, I want to urge all our youths to remain focus and productive in all your endeavors with unshaking loyalty to your Elders, while taking mentoring very important.
At this juncture, I owe a deep appreciation to the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Our own, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa and other notable leaders for your presence at this occasion not forgetting your unflinching support for me so far.
