“My primary function is to make laws for my constituency, but because of the state of our nation, I have prioritised empowerment in my constituency as a key responsibility, still within my WWREEEP campaign promises.

“The present crop of leaders at the 9th Assembly is unrepentantly committed to our constituencies. We honestly are working on ways to lift majority of Nigerians out of poverty and this is why we promulgate laws that will affect every stratum in Nigeria.

Akande-Sadipe implored the beneficiaries to ensure that the materials are used to generate income, urging them to use the items for long term economic gain and not sell the empowerment items.

The lawmaker thanked all the agencies who collaborated with her in ensuring her constituents are happy. She also eulogised party leaders for their support.

In his remarks, the deputy chairman, All Progressive Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Honourable Adegboyega Adeyemo, said: “This has been a good decision for the residents of Oluyole Constituency to give us a chance to represent them in 2019. Sadipe has already surpassed all legislators in Oyo State, she is the best I have seen. Oyo APC will do everything to support Sadipe in 2023 because she has done more than enough to achieve this.”

Speaking, one of the beneficiaries,Basiru Adewale, said: “Honourable Sadipe’s empowerment has been one of the best things the people of Oluyole Constituency have enjoyed. She is the best, no doubt. I advise other political leaders to emulate the woman’s virtue and values. We can all achieve more.”
