In the early hours of yesterday, the Member representing Okene/Ogori-Magogo Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Hon. Ozigi Muhammad Tijani, once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to grassroots development by empowering 500 constituents across the constituency.
According to his Personal Assistant, Godwin Orahachi, the empowerment programme, which followed a comprehensive workshop training and sensitization session, targeted women and youths, equipping them with practical knowledge and skills for economic self-reliance. At the end of the programme, beneficiaries were supported with a total sum of ₦25 million as startup capital to help them establish or expand their respective ventures.
Hon. Ozigi Muhammad Tijani was represented at the event by his SLA, Hon. Nuhu, who addressed the beneficiaries on behalf of the lawmaker. In his remarks, Hon. Nuhu recalled a statement he made during the Christmas palliative distribution, where he assured constituents that they should expect more developmental interventions from his boss.
According to him, the empowerment programme serves as clear evidence that the earlier assurance was not mere political rhetoric, but a deliberate plan by Hon. Tijani to uplift his people economically. He further assured the gathering that more empowerment programmes would continue to come to the constituency, urging those who did not benefit from the current exercise not to be discouraged, as they would be captured in subsequent programmes.
Hon. Nuhu emphasized that Hon. Ozigi Muhammad Tijani remains fully committed to protecting the interests of his constituents and staying true to the mandate entrusted to him at the National Assembly.
In their response, the beneficiaries collectively reaffirmed their support for the lawmaker, stating that he has not failed them since assuming office. They noted that Hon. Tijani has consistently delivered on his promises, often coming through for them when least expected. They praised his responsiveness and dedication, stressing that their voices are always heard when it matters most.
The beneficiaries further commended him for continually bringing the dividends of democracy to the grassroots, describing the empowerment initiative as another testament to his people-centered leadership and commitment to sustainable development in Okene/Ogori-Magogo Federal Constituency.
