Senator Adeniyi Adegbonmire, who represents Ondo Central Senatorial District, has launched a major empowerment drive known as the Adegbonmire Renewed Hope Mega Empowerment Programme. The initiative brought together hundreds of residents as the senator distributed a wide range of economic tools and educational materials designed to support livelihoods and strengthen communities within the district.
Items handed out at the event included tricycles, motorcycles, generators, sewing machines, industrial machines, freezers, hair dryers, wheelchairs, books and several other materials aimed at helping people build sustainable income. Schools across the district also received educational resources to improve teaching and learning, a move many local stakeholders described as timely.
Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa was represented at the event by the Special Adviser on Legislative Matters, Kolawole Babatunde. He praised Senator Adegbonmire for what he called a practical demonstration of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Babatunde stated that the programme shows the state government’s belief that good governance should be felt in real and meaningful ways by everyday citizens. He added that programmes that support self-reliance, create livelihood opportunities and prepare people to compete in a fast-changing world are in line with the administration’s goals.
He encouraged beneficiaries to use the items responsibly, saying empowerment requires perseverance, collaboration and confidence in what communities can achieve when they work together.
Senator Adegbonmire expressed gratitude to attendees and explained that the initiative came from a genuine desire to give back to the people who have consistently trusted his capacity and character. He also paid tribute to his late father, High Chief Wunmi Adegbonmire, who once served as Secretary to the State Government during the tenure of Governor Adebayo Adefarati.
The event attracted political leaders, traditional rulers, community representatives and many enthusiastic residents from across the senatorial district.
