One of the members of Ondo State causes in the Federal House of Representatives that is seen and known to have undoubtedly delivered quality representation to his constituents since he was inaugurated is Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye.
Small Alhaji as the federal lawmaker representing Idanre/Ifedore is popularly known, has left no one in doubt of his abilities to open a new vista of representation for the overall benefits of his constituents. His first one year of office was gleefully acknowledged by the people of Idanre and Ifedore as one that is filled with achievements that have outrightly redefined representation in the federal constituency.
Adefisoye has impressively refused to get swayed by his achievements in the first year. He has therefore stepped up efforts to surpass what was earlier achieved in his second year of office. Without doubt, the achievements of Adefisoye in just two years have clearly outweighed those of his predecessors that had occupied the same office for 12 preceding years. As a matter of fact, the federal lawmaker in his second year has hugely delivered visible achievements in areas that include Education, Empowerment, Employment, Health, Infrastructure, Agriculture, Sports and Human capital development amongst others.
While the fact that Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye has delivered on his electoral promises cannot be argued ; he has also made efforts to benchmark excellence and quality service delivery as his minimum achievement target. Evidently, the lawmaker has also impacted positively the lives of his constituents in diverse ways.
Adefisoye is the very first lawmaker in Ondo State and South west of Nigeria to have purchased and delivered 1100 JAMB forms for qualified candidates across his federal constituency. This was in addition to his yearly award of
scholarship to students across the constituency. It must be noted that the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Army has been religiously committed to awarding scholarships to students in his federal constituency for almost a decade now. This is to say that Adefisoye has been lending support to the downtrodden and economically disadvantaged people in his constituency long before he won election to become a member of the House of Representatives.
More so, it is also on record that Tajudeen Adefisoye has secured dozens of federal government employment opportunities for the youths in his federal constituency. Through this effort, he has given economic lifelines to scores of hitherto hopeless people in his federal constituency. Also, Hon. Adefisoye has equally facilitated the enlistment of scores of youths in his federal constituency into the Nigerian Army.
Additionally, Small Alhaji has also empowered more than 600 artisans in Idanre and Ifedore with tools and equipments. A little above 400 tailors and apprentices selected across Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency had been trained and empowered with one brand new sewing machine each. This is in addition to start up stipends given to each of the 400 trained tailors and the apprentices. Beneficiaries of this program had shown their immense appreciation and described the gesture as undeniable dividends of quality representation offered by Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye.
It is also on record that Adefisoye had successfully facilitated Federal Government Covid-19 loan for 300 of his constituents in the last one year. The federal lawmaker has also given priority attention to human capital development in his federal constituency. He has altruistically secured visas and paid all travel expenses for scores of his constituents that opted to study and work abroad. Likewise, Adefisoye has undertaken the
training and empowerment of 200 youths that were selected from across the federal constituency in Aqua-Culture. Upon completion of the training, each of the 200 beneficiaries was given a start up capital. More so, Adefisoye had also undertaken the distribution of cocoa seedlings and implements to farmers in Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency. This gesture has surely gone a long to boost the farming activities of the beneficiaries.
Furthermore, Tajudeen Adefisoye has also taken it upon himself to handle the renovation of public toilets in the federal constituency. Before the intervention of the federal lawmaker, the renovated toilets were obviously in very bad shapes and long abandoned by the concerned market women. He had also carried out the disbursement of ‘Small Alhaji Money Grant’ to over 600 market woman in Idanre and Ifedore. Scores of the beneficiaries of this gesture had not only shown appreciation to Hon. Adefisoye, they have also underscored the timeliness and appropriateness of the grant.
In the area of infrastructural intervention, Adefisoye has graded
more than 25 kilometers of roads in Idanre and Ifedore. The graded roads are now motorable and passable; while the lawmaker is making strenuous efforts to ensure that the graded roads are also asphalted. He has equally undertaken the sinking of 10 motorized boreholes in Idanre and Ifedore in the last one year. In addition to this, Small Alhaji is already working on the sinking another 5 solar powered boreholes in his federal constituency.
To the credit of Tajudeen Adefisoye,
is the successful hosting of the inaugural Idanre-Ifedore Annual Football Competition. All teams that participated in the competition were given playing kits courtesy of the Idanre born federal lawmaker.
Similarly, Small Alhaji has likewise made donations of hundreds of grinding machines, sewing machines and motor cycles to the constituents of Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency in the last one year. He has equally made another donation and installation of solar street lights in Idanre and Ifedore.
Aside projects that have already been concluded and delivered by Hon. Adefisoye, he has also initiated some ongoing projects in his federal constituency. He has begun the construction of two world class mini stadia in Idanre and Ifedore. According to the lawmaker, he conceived the idea of the mini stadia with the aim of harnessing all the sporting talents in his federal constituency as well diverting the attention of youths from crime related activities.
He is also working on erosion control and rehabilitation of 2km road projects at Opasorun in Idanre. Another project being worked on by Small Alhaji is the
construction and equipping of a European standard ICT center in Idanre. Construction of skills acquisition center in also ongoing in Ifedore Local Government of Ondo State courtesy of Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye. What is worthy of note concerning all the ongoing projects is the determination of Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye to ensure that the projects are delivered in line with the highest level of structural integrity.
Also worthy of note is the newly
developed “Small Alhaji Vision for Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency”. The vision is indeed audacious and it is meant to reposition and move Idanre/Ifedore
Federal Constituency from the path of old order to the new ways of operating in the millennia age. The vision involves conceiving digital and long term projects with the aim of making his federal constituency compare with overseas communities. The vision as conceived by Small Alhaji, also includes the creation of avenues for his youthful constituents to acquire digital skills and trainings to make them become globally competitive.
The vision is also inclusive of giving premium priority to human capital development and overall welfare and wellbeing of his constituents.
Also encapsulated in the “Small Alhaji Vision for Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency” is aggressive collaborative partnership with developmental bodies across the globe with the aim of achieving progressive and enduring developmental changes in his federal constituency.
Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye has performed creditably well in his first-two years of office. Good enough, the lawmaker is resolutely determined to maximally deliver democratic dividends and quality representation to his constituents. Notwithstanding this, Small Alhaji is also very much prepared to leave a legacy of quality projects in Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency.
