Senator Idiat Oluranti Adebule, representing Lagos-West Senatorial District, held a mega stakeholders’ engagement and empowerment programme in Ikeja, Lagos, on Saturday, where she distributed tools and financial support to 1,000 constituents. The event, which served as a mid-term account of stewardship, featured the distribution of commercial mini-buses, sewing machines, laptops, and catering equipment to beneficiaries from the 28 Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas within the district.
Originally scheduled for December 2025 but rescheduled due to administrative exigencies, the event was described by Adebule as part of her effort to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda, especially in promoting job creation and poverty reduction.
“Nothing gives me more tremendous joy and satisfaction than putting smiles on the faces of people and renewing their hopes in a future of shared prosperity,” she said during her address.
Adebule explained that all 1,000 beneficiaries had completed intensive training in soft skills such as ICT, hairdressing, barbing, tailoring, and cosmetology. She added that, beyond equipment, some of the beneficiaries received cash grants of N200,000 each to launch their businesses.
Providing an update on her legislative record since June 2023, Adebule disclosed that she has sponsored 12 bills and co-sponsored six others, totaling 18 legislative contributions. She also noted that two of her motions have been adopted by the Senate.
Highlighting her constituency projects, she listed several ongoing and completed initiatives designed to boost grassroots development. These include two primary healthcare centres currently under construction in Igbolobi (Ojo) and Isokan (Ifako-Ijaiye), the construction of classroom blocks ranging from six to 18 units across Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Onigbongbo, Ojo, and Oshodi, the installation of over 1,000 solar street lights, completion of six solar-powered boreholes, and donation of seven transformers. She further mentioned the construction of a multi-purpose Youth Development Centre in Badagry, equipped with an ICT hub and sports facilities.
“The Federal Government has promised to ramp up cash-backing of ongoing projects. My next focus for the 2026 budget year will be road construction, specifically targeting inner roads that will provide succour to our people,” she said.
Commenting on the current economic challenges, Adebule urged citizens to remain patient and supportive of the ongoing national reforms. “The President is carrying out difficult but necessary reforms to reset our economy for sustainable and inclusive growth. He is walking the talk,” she stated.
The event was attended by notable figures, including members of the Lagos State Governance Advisory Council (GAC) led by Prince Rabiu Adio Oluwa, the APC State Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, and the Senator representing Ogun West, Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi).
Adebule expressed appreciation to her constituents and the party leadership for their continued support, assuring that the 2026 legislative year would deliver more people-centred projects across the district.
