The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the upcoming Ikenne/Sagamu/Remo North Federal Constituency by-election, Asiwaju Bola Oluwole, has promised to champion laws that will directly improve the lives of Nigerians, with a special focus on youth development, job creation and social welfare, if elected on August 16.
Speaking during a campaign rally in Sagamu on Saturday, Oluwole declared that his legislative agenda would be people-centred, aimed at solving everyday challenges and unlocking the full potential of Nigeria’s young population.
The PDP candidate said “the youth are the backbone and labour force of any country. If we do not create the legal and institutional frameworks that empower them, we risk wasting our greatest resource. My mission in the National Assembly will be to sponsor and support laws that provide vocational training, entrepreneurship support, access to funding and targeted job creation programs for young people.”
Beyond youth empowerment, Oluwole outlined other priority areas where he intends to push for legislative reforms including economic and industrial Growth with a vision to enact laws to encourage small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) through tax incentives, simplified business registration and industrial development policies that attract investment.
He stated that education reform which would work on legislation to improve public schools, enhance teacher welfare and integrate digital literacy and skill-based training into the curriculum as well
as policies that provide farmers with access to credit facilities, modern farming tools and improved storage systems to reduce post-harvest losses would be part of his legislative efforts.
According to him, I would facilitate healthcare improvement through laws to strengthen the primary healthcare system, ensure affordable drugs and expand the National Health Insurance Scheme to cover more Nigerians and improve ifrastructure and public Utilities through legislation that compels equitable distribution of federal projects, especially in rural and underserved communities.”
Asiwaju Oluwole said “security and community safety would also be a priority with proposals for community policing and security support systems that protect lives and property at the grassroots level.
He stressed that his vision is anchored on transparency, accountability and genuine representation.
“I am not going to Abuja to serve myself or a select few,” he said.
“I am going there to serve every man, woman and child in this constituency. My work will reflect the needs of the people, from jobs for our youth to better schools, safer communities and a stronger economy.”
Hon Oluwole urged voters to see the August 16 by-election as an opportunity to send a voice of progress to the National Assembly, adding that his commitment is to be a lawmaker who listens and acts.
“This is about building a future where every Nigerian can live with dignity, security and hope,” Oluwole concluded.
