Federal lawmaker Engr. Aderemi Oseni, representing Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, has appealed to Nigerians to give President Bola Ahmed Tinubu more time to find solutions to challenges currently facing the nation.
Speaking in Ibadan at the launching of a N250 million empowerment initiative for Blacksmith, Welders, Iron Benders, and Metal Technicians Association of Nigeria, Oseni urged Nigerians to remain steadfast and support Tinubu’s administration despite current economic challenges.
He said, “Though some of the policies being implemented by Tinubu seem tough, these are what the nation needs to have a brighter future.”
Oseni emphasized that President Tinubu’s efforts in fixing Nigeria will soon yield positive results, saying Nigerians should keep their hope alive for a better and prosperous Nigeria.
According to him, “Tinubu, as a friend of the masses and promoter of mankind, is concerned about how to make life better and more meaningful for Nigerian citizens.”
The N250 million empowerment initiative aims to enhance skills, productivity, and business potential of metal artisans across Oyo State.
Oseni commended the resilience and economic contributions of blacksmiths, welders, and other metal workers, emphasizing their vital role in the state’s economy.
As Chairman of the House Committee on Federal Road Maintenance Agency, Oseni reiterated his commitment to improving the lives of his constituents and the people of Oyo State.
He stated that his entry into politics was driven by a desire to serve.
The empowerment program is part of Oseni’s broader agenda to support artisans, providing BWAIAN members with tools, machinery, and financial assistance to enhance their trade and improve their livelihoods.
The N250 million initiative includes the distribution of essential tools, equipment, and financial grants to BWAIAN members, aiming to expand their businesses, boost their incomes, and contribute to the state’s economic development.
BWAIAN’s state leader, Munirudeen Adegoke Rauf, lauded Oseni’s gesture and called on other political leaders and well-meaning Nigerians to follow his example by supporting small and medium-scale entrepreneurs.
Rauf praised Oseni’s commitment to empowering artisans, acknowledging the positive impact on the state’s economy.
