By Adewale Owowade
In it’s bid to aid proper representation of the people ,especially through collaboration with key political office holders, Sydam Concept Nigeria limited, has partnered with a member of House of Representative, to deliver dividends of democracy to his constituency.
Hon Ojo Sunday Makanjuola, representing the people of Ogo Oluwa/ Surulere Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, empowered
members and leaders of his constituency, at an event held in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.
At the programme, Rep Makanjuola, also known as ‘SMATO’ ,
a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member, distributed 64 deep freezers and 64 generating sets, which were supplied by Sydam Concept Nigeria limited.
He also presented cash gifts not less than 2millions naira to the beneficiaries, as part of ways to appreciate them for their support during the last general election.
The beneficiaries include the party leaders, youths and others, who are from the two local governments that make up the Constituency.
Honourable SMATO also commissioned four newly constructed modern boreholes for
the usage of the people in his constituency
Speaking to journalists after the event, Hon SMATO, said, “Before now, I aspired for this position that I currently occupied, the party gave me the platform whereby I was chosen among many to represent our people at the green chamber in Abuja, and as a way of paying back to my people I have to organise this to say thank you to my party leaders.
“I started with the leaders of the party, but I’m promising all the people in my constituency, that I’m going to reach out to them all, for their welfare is my top and number one priority at the the House.
” But we just have to start somewhere, the women leaders, and party leaders in Ogo Oluwa and Surulere have been attended to today, some of them received generating set and cash, while some received cash and deep freezers.
“This empowerment is a token, and it is meant to cushion the effect of the current economic hardship that is facing our people in the country right now. So, those that received the freezer will use the money given to them to buy drinks and other items to start up a small scale business which I believe shall keep them running in this harsh economy.
” And for those that are using electricity on daily basis to power their businesses, they can start using the generating set given to them to support the powering of their business centers especially when there is power outage while the money given to them can serve as a start up capital for fueling their generating sets.
“This will help them to boost their businesses and enhance the economy of their communities, aside from the national palliatives the federal government and the state government rolled out for them.
“Also we commissioned two boreholes in Ogo Oluwa local government and two in Surulere local government to assist our people to have access to portable water.
“In Ogo Oluwa local government we commissioned a borehole in Otamokun, and Aiyegun Yemetu, while in Surulere local government, we commissioned one in Onikoko town and another one at Atapa town.
“So, before first quarter of next year my people should be expecting something better than this, as their welfare remains paramount to me.”
Some of the beneficiaries that spoke with journalists expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Hon SMATO for remembering them at this critical period.
The event was graced by party leaders from both Ogo Oluwa and Surulere local government areas such as Chief John Famakin, Prince Lasisi Oladimeji Olagbemileke, Executive Chairman of Ogo Oluwa local government, Honourable Seun Ojo, his Surulere counterpart, Hon. Isaiah Adegbite among others.
