Oyo Rep Distributes Fertilizers To 5,000 Farmers

Oseni emphasized that the distribution aligns with his broader vision of empowering grassroots communities through sustainable agriculture.

“This landmark empowerment programme is aimed at increasing productivity for farmers, ensuring plentiful harvests that not only enhance personal wealth but contribute to national food security,” he stated.

He added that the gesture was part of his commitment to fulfilling campaign promises and supporting the federal government’s agenda on food sufficiency and economic diversification.

Farmers from various communities in Ido and Ibarapa East expressed gratitude, describing the intervention as timely and impactful, especially as the planting season approaches.

“Food security has been one of the major agenda of President Bola Tinubu, which will continue to echo to every one of us, and we will continue to promote as much as we can.

“In the face of the current economic challenges and the surge of food prices, we are standing together to accelerate our seed while guaranteeing that our families remain nourished and supported.”

He said his empowerment initiative aligned with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope and Economic Rebirth Agenda, an initiative promising to restore stability and purpose of the nation after recent challenges.

“It is my firm belief that by supporting our farmers, we are not only assisting in alleviating the skyrocketing prices of food but also empowering them to take charge of their destinies.

“As I distribute these 5,206 bags of fertilisers across my constituency today (Tuesday) to our esteemed and hardworking farmers, I see potential for growth.”

The lawmaker urged the beneficiaries to embrace the opportunity to their clear commitment as defined by President Tinubu in his renewed agenda.

“Let us cultivate the habit of excellence, not just in our farms but in every aspect of our lives. As your representatives, I assure you that I will continue to put you first. We will advocate for better policies, better infrastructure, and a better quality of life for everyone in our beloved Ibarapa’s Federal Constituency.

“This is not simply a promise. It is a pledge, grounded in my heart, grounded in my heartiness, and grounded in my unwavering love for each of you.”

Many of the beneficiaries expressed heartfelt appreciation for the support, noting that the fertiliser distribution would ease their farming operations and boost yields significantly.

A farmer from Ibarapa East, Mrs. Funmilayo Adekunle, said, “This is a huge relief for many of us who were already worried about how we’d afford fertiliser this season. Hon. Oseni has truly remembered the grassroots.”

Dignitaries present included the All Progressives Congress Chairman in Oyo South Senatorial District, Mojeed Olaoya; the Onido of Idoland, Oba Muritala Babalola; and representatives from the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the Muslim community, the local farmers’ association, student unions, and youth groups.

The presence of such a broad coalition of stakeholders underscored the wide-reaching impact of the programme and the growing support for community-centered development initiatives in the constituency.
