Intention:
In further consideration of the political future of our people, I have volunteered myself to serve by wanting to contest the office of the CHAIRMAN TO ILAJE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
My plans for Ilaje people:
- Education: The standard of education in our area (ilaje) has fallen drastically. Therefore, education will be giving the desired attention. Structures, study materials, manpower will be readily made available in all our schools.
- Health: Because of the rural nature of the area, adequate health facility is lacking. This menace I will tackle with all seriousness.
- Environment: No successive government has ever considered given environment any thought, for they did not know that healthy environment breeds good health.
- Human capital development: For any society to develop the development of human capital is key to its success. These I will solve through my skill acquisition program.
