Agboyi-Ketu LCDA Chairman, Mr. Dele Oshinowo, has announced the disbursement of N50 million to 1000 economically vulnerable residents of the council area in a bid to increase their purchasing power, mitigate the impact of inflation, boost small businesses, and energize the local economy.
Senator Tokunbo Abiru, in commending Mr. Oshinowo’s dedication to the welfare of his constituents, observed that the Chairman’s swift responsiveness to the needs of residents is consistent with the ideals of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Expressing his support for the Welift Program, the Senator pledged N5 million, a pledge that follows Mr. Dayo Bush’s N500,000 pledge, emphasizing the program’s timeliness and critical importance amid the current economic difficulties.
The Chairman articulating the primary goal of the Welift Program, emphasized the importance of making a tangible, positive impact on people’s lives. “The Welift Program is not just about infrastructure development,” he stated. “We understand that true progress lies not only in the physical structures that support our community, but also in the wellbeing and economic empowerment of those who are the foundation of our local economy.”
In his speech, Oshinowo reiterated the administration’s commitment to empowering residents, especially the most vulnerable.
He said, “This is a testament to the vision we’ve had since 2018. Our goal has been clear: to raise, support, and empower the people of Agboyi-Ketu LCDA, especially those who need it the most.” He emphasized that the initiative aims to provide financial assistance, dignity, empowerment, and opportunities to those in need.
He explained that the selection process for beneficiaries involved critical community bodies, including the Community Development Association, Christian Association of Nigeria, Artisan League of Imams, unions, market leaders, and the World Garden Association. Mayor Dele Oshinowo ensured that assistance reached those who needed it most through this thorough process.
He highlighted his administration’s commitment to holistic development, including infrastructure advancement and human capital development. Recent projects include the commissioning of 170 housing units at Raymond Estate, launch of a co-economic ICT hub in partnership with SAIL, construction of new classrooms, and development of state-of-the-art public facilities like Commercial Park and Agboyi Town Football Pitch.
He noted that the initiative aligns with sustainable development goals, focusing on poverty reduction, quality education, sustainable cities, and economic growth. Mayor Dele Oshinowo thanked partners, including Momo Payment Service Bank, and the team behind the initiative.
The Council Boss concluded, “We are not just giving; we are building, we are creating a community where opportunity, hope, and prosperity are shared among all.” He remains committed to improving the lives of Agboyi-Ketu LCDA residents.
