Hon. Akinlayo Appreciates Ekiti North Constituents as Two-Year Scorecard Showcases Results-Driven Projects Across Ekiti North Federal Constituency II

Hon. Kolawole Davidson Akinlayo has turned two years in office with a forceful delivery of projects that cut across water, power, roads, health, education, and youth empowerment in Ido/Osi, Moba, and Ilejemeje Local Government Areas. The lawmaker’s impact is visible, targeted, and far-reaching, backed by receipts, not rhetoric.

From drilling solar-powered boreholes in Iye and Osi Ekiti to fixing township roads in Otun and Osan, Akinlayo’s two-year scorecard reads like a masterclass in grassroots governance. His streetlight installations in IreAkari, EdaOniyo, and the Oba’s palace in Ido Ekiti have lit up previously dark corners, while flood-prone areas now have functioning drainage systems.

Education saw a direct cash injection: over 1,000 JAMB forms funded, NECO fees paid for Ikosu students, and ₦25,000 bursaries awarded to 750 undergraduates. Another 19 students bagged ₦75,000 academic excellence scholarships. ICT centres sprang up in Ilogbo, Iye, and Otun, with 260 youths trained in tech skills like AI and software development.

Healthcare wasn’t sidelined. Medical outreaches offered screenings, medications, and consultations for free. A total of 320 widows received ₦50,000 each, elderly men got ₦25,000 apiece, and 500 bundles of roofing sheets went to families hit by storms.

Women entrepreneurs were powered with 200 sewing machines, 150 grinding machines, and 50 hairdryers across the 32 wards. Farmers got 500 bags of fertiliser and sprayers, while business owners received 100 generators to tackle power issues. To boost rural mobility, 50 motorcycles were given to commercial riders.

The push for grassroots development continued with more targeted interventions across the constituency. In Igogo Ekiti, a solar-powered borehole transformer was installed to ease access to clean and reliable water. Usi and Otun Ekiti witnessed the grading of key community roads, improving mobility and boosting local commerce. In a strong show of support for agriculture, brand-new tractors were procured for farmers to enhance mechanized farming and productivity. Education also received a boost as pupils and students across primary and secondary schools were supplied with exercise books, an effort aimed at supporting learning and easing the financial burden on families.

In governance, he opened constituency offices in Otun, Ido, and EdaOniyo, held stakeholder meetings with security and market leaders, and backed traditional chiefs with stipends for their roles in community leadership.

On the floor of the House, Akinlayo sponsored bills for a School of Nursing in Ikosu and a School of Agriculture in Otun. His motions targeted issues like naira note abuse, public complaint commission funding, and police torture practices. Dozens of constituents secured federal jobs through his influence.

Now halfway into his tenure, Akinlayo promises more expanded electrification, school upgrades, market women empowerment, skills training, and job placements via federal MDAs. He credited the progress to community trust and the leadership support of Gov. Biodun Oyebanji and Deputy Gov. Monisade Afuye.

“This mandate is not just politics, it’s a duty. We’re not done,” Akinlayo said. “We’re just getting started.”

As Hon. Akinlayo marks his second year in office, his work stands as proof that effective representation is possible and visible. With projects spread across all wards and a clear focus on people-centred governance, he has redefined what it means to serve. From education to infrastructure, health to economic empowerment, the results speak louder than promises.

With more initiatives underway from job placements to electrification and school upgrades, Akinlayo assures constituents that the journey has only just begun. “We’re not slowing down,” he said. “This mandate is a mission, and I’m committed to seeing it through.”
