Lawmaker Gboyega Nasir Isiaka presents a new development agenda for border communities in Ogun State, highlighting completed projects.
Representative Gboyega Nasir Isiaka, who serves the Yewa North and Imeko-Afon Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, recently announced that his constituency projects have successfully reached all 21 wards across the region.
The lawmaker shared these details during a major stakeholders engagement event held at the Comprehensive High School in Ayetoro, Ogun State, where he presented his comprehensive vision for the area, according to information published by punchng.
During the gathering, Isiaka introduced a 150-page development document titled The Living Borders, which aims to address immediate challenges, harness economic opportunities, and guide sustainable growth for communities located near the border.
Stewardship and Constituency Projects in Ogun State
Accountability took center stage as the federal lawmaker detailed his four-year stewardship across critical sectors, noting that interventions covered education, healthcare, infrastructure, skills acquisition, empowerment, and employment opportunities.
Key infrastructural milestones highlighted during the presentation include the construction of a mini stadium and a police station in Oja-Odan, alongside the installation of 1,200 solar-powered streetlights distributed widely throughout the entire federal constituency.
Access to clean water also improved significantly through the provision of solar boreholes in six distinct communities, including Ayetoro, Iboro, and Imasayi, directly benefiting thousands of rural residents.
Educational and Healthcare Interventions
Education development remains a central pillar of the representative's agenda, featuring an ongoing Computer-Based Test centre that is currently 95 per cent complete, alongside several new classroom blocks.
Additional educational support included the direct distribution of 1,200 school bags to students, while primary healthcare centers across multiple wards underwent comprehensive renovation and equipment upgrades to improve local medical services.
Isiaka emphasized that physical projects would soon extend to the single remaining ward that has yet to benefit, with completion scheduled before the end of next year, ensuring total equity across all 21 wards.
The Living Borders Development Blueprint
Explaining the rationale behind The Living Borders, Isiaka described the 150-page publication as a strategic framework designed to identify local economic potential and provide clear guidance for future generations.
The lawmaker specifically pointed to the constituency's strategic proximity to the Republic of Benin as a major economic advantage that requires federal attention through the establishment of a dedicated free trade zone.
He also advocated strongly for the creation of new tertiary institutions within Imeko-Afon and Yewa North to strengthen human capital development and expand educational horizons for local youths.
Political Engagement and 2027 General Elections
Traditional rulers, Baales, religious leaders, artisans, traders, and youth representatives attended the public presentation, alongside chieftains of the All Progressives Congress and former and serving lawmakers.
Looking toward the 2027 general election, Isiaka expressed strong confidence in his re-election prospects and urged constituents to maintain their support for President Bola Tinubu and Ogun State governorship hopeful Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola.
He concluded that continued political backing for the governing party will enable the consolidation of ongoing reforms, economic initiatives, and vital infrastructure projects throughout the border region.
