Ekiti North Senatorial District representative in the National Assembly, Senator Olubunmi Adetumbi, stated that in the previous two years, he has deployed his network and worked hard to attract N2 billion worth of projects to bring value to the zone.

The achievement was achieved, according to the ranking Senator and Chairman of the Senate Committee on National Planning, via personal sacrifices to uplift his people and intensive networking with key federal government departments to bring democratic dividends to his residents.

The APC Senator made the remark while providing an account of his leadership and efforts to advance human and infrastructure development in the zone in Ifaki Ekiti, Ido/Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State, yesterday.

Adetumbi, who praised Governor Kayode Fayemi, traditional rulers and constituents for their supports, catalogued the projects dotted across towns, villages and 56 wards in Ekiti North to include 20 solar-powered boreholes, seven road projects, 3,6 and 12-block of classrooms in six selected schools.

Others, according to the Senator were five erosion/ecological projects, building of two lock-up shops and Three ICT training centres across four local governments of Ikole, Ilejemeje, Oye and Ido/Osi councils, while projects in Moba Local Government were in the pipeline and would commence soon.

Adetumbi, who was represented by his campaign Director of Operations, Chief Segun Adelugba, added that he had expended N10 million on scholarship awards to 200 students, to acquire higher degrees in the district, while about 300 artisans have been exposed to modern training to sharpen their expertises.

“450 beneficiaries of the first phase of NDE Special Public Works got N60,000 each, making a sum of N27m. Also, another round of 650 beneficiaries of NDE Special Public Works collect N60,000 per beneficiary, which gulped a sum of N39m. All these I facilitated for my constituents.

“The second phase of Covid-19 loan benefited 50 persons and through this, over N20m had been injected into our local economy, apart from training for thousands of women leaders, groups, chiefs and unempoloyed graduates, among other innovations I have brought to uplift my constituents.”

Adetumbi, however, hinted that he had also injected some projects in the federal government’s budgetary provisions for 2022 for project execution in Moba local government and part of Ido/Osi council area.

The Senator, who clarified that those projects were funded through personal funding, assured his constituents that he would accord employment generations for jobless graduates and youth empowerment as his main focus in the 2022 fiscal year.
