By Edith Igbokwe

A member representing Ikeja constituency II at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Adedamola Kasumu (ARK) has recounted his achievements so far as a lawmaker.

According to him, he is the only first term lawmaker in the 8th assembly to have sponsored two executive bills that were passed into law.

He boasted to be a silent achiever who does not like to blow his trumpet, the nature, he claimed a not appreciated by he people even when he provided empowerment initiatives.

“My benevolence has impacted lives of constituents especially as it relates to health, education and empowerment assistance.”

Meanwhile, Kasumu charged his constituents to be enlighten about the primary function of a legislator, saying it is just to make laws.

He said he has made it a habit to go beyond that boundary to ensure that he strengthens his tentacles by making sure that youths are carried along since he assumed the role as their representative.

“As a lawmaker, I have  facilitated the admission of 27 students into Lagos State University and 65 youths into Lagos State civil service between 2015 and 2018.

“I have also sponsored about 100 students for JAMB and also sponsored two members of my constituency to US and Scotland for leadership programmes and spent over N25 million during Covid-19 for constituents.”

The lawmaker, who regretted to be an introvert, said henceforth, he will announce his achievements to the public, saying as a silent achiever, many people don’t know what he has done in the constituency.
