An ex-House of Representatives member, Hon. Adekunle Abdulkabir Akinlade, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for his visionary leadership under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
This is coming after President Tinubu approved the upgrading of the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, into a full-fledged Federal University of Technology.
Speaking via a press statement by his Senior Media Consultant, Akinleye Olu-Philips, Hon. Adekunle said that the decision marks a turning point in the educational trajectory of Yewaland and the Ogun West Senatorial District as a whole.
He revealed that it is proof of the President’s commitment to not just guaranteeing smooth access to quality education, but also ensuring that every region is carried along in the national development agenda.
Adekunle believes that the thoughtful upgrade reiterates the present government’s belief that education will always be the foundation of any country’s growth and global recognition.
Celebrating the upgrade, Hon. Adekunle Abdulkabir appreciated Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi) for his applaudable foresight, continuous advocacy, and relentless passion, which have resulted in the realisation of the highly-awaited dream of the Yewa people. He emphasised that the latest development proves Senator Adeola’s commendable sense of duty and unbreakable commitment to members of his constituency.
The former Gubernatorial and Deputy Gubernatorial Candidate also hailed the Olu of Ilaro and Paramount Ruler of Yewa land, His Royal Majesty Oba Kehinde Gbadewole Olugbenle, for his remarkable leadership that has played a vital role in triggering a united support towards the development of the region.
Thanking the traditional rulers and institutions across Ogun West, he noted that their relentless push towards the incredible outcome will not be forgotten.
Highlighting how proud the people of Ogun State are feeling after President Tinubu’s approval, Adekunle maintained that it is not just an institutional upgrade; it is also a transformation engine that will deliver huge socio-economic benefits to the region.
According to him, the establishment of a Federal University will trigger infrastructural development, job creation, youth empowerment, enhanced commerce, innovation, and increased national prestige.
Triple A believes that the decision will not only promote academic and cultural diversity, it will also enhance the region’s intellectual ecosystem, and a combination of both benefits will eventually lead to long-term prosperity for Yewa people.
Emphasising how the establishment of a university immediately boosts the fortunes of the people around, Hon. Adekunle revealed that the milestone will go a long way towards unlocking a new chapter of endless possibilities, including developmental research, skills transformation and industry-academic synergy all across Yewaland.
The passionate advocate for Yewa development concluded by saying that the soul-lifting decision is a deserved reward for long patience and consistent advocacy, reminding everyone that it would not have been possible without the forward-thinking Senator Yayi.
He also prayed that the development would signal the start of even greater achievements for Yewa land and our dear nation.
