Hon. Kolawole Davidson Akinlayo marks three years in the House of Representatives, the lawmaker representing Ekiti North Federal Constituency II says his stewardship has delivered infrastructure projects, educational support, healthcare interventions and economic empowerment programmes across Ido/Osi, Moba and Ilejemeje local government areas.
The anniversary comes amid growing scrutiny of elected officials’ performance nationwide, with constituents increasingly demanding measurable results from their representatives.
Since assuming office in 2023, Hon. Akinlayo has facilitated several constituency projects, including solar-powered boreholes in Iye and Osi Ekiti, streetlight installations in communities such as Ire Akari and Eda Oniyo, and improvements to healthcare facilities across the constituency.
At the General Hospital in Otun Ekiti, the lawmaker facilitated the construction of walkways and the provision of medical equipment aimed at improving service delivery. Primary healthcare centres in Ikosu and Eda Oniyo also benefited from refurbishment projects.
Road infrastructure has equally featured prominently in his constituency interventions. Residents have witnessed grading works on several roads, while the lawmaker facilitated progress on the Otun-Osan Road and Osan Township Road projects, both considered vital to transportation and commercial activities in the area.
Education remains one of the defining areas of his constituency engagement. More than 1,500 prospective candidates received support through the provision of JAMB registration forms, while over 700 students benefited from bursaries and scholarship awards.
Hon. Akinlayo also expanded opportunities in the technology sector through training programmes in artificial intelligence and software development targeted at young people. The establishment of ICT centres within the constituency further reflects efforts to prepare youths for emerging opportunities in the digital economy.
In healthcare and social welfare, free medical outreach programmes organised under his office have provided consultations, medications and screenings for residents across the constituency. Widows, elderly citizens and victims of natural disasters have also received financial assistance.
Women entrepreneurs have benefited from empowerment programmes involving the distribution of sewing machines, grinding machines and hair dryers to support small businesses and household incomes.
Farmers across the three local government areas have received fertilisers and farming tools to improve agricultural productivity, while artisans and small business owners have benefited from the distribution of generators, spraying machines, roofing sheets and motorcycles.
Beyond constituency projects, the lawmaker has maintained an active legislative presence at the National Assembly. Among initiatives linked to his office are efforts to facilitate the establishment of a School of Nursing in Ikosu Ekiti and the advancement of a School of Agriculture in Otun Ekiti.
He has also sponsored motions on issues relating to public accountability and human rights, while facilitating federal employment opportunities for qualified constituents.
Political leaders and community stakeholders within the constituency say the projects have strengthened public confidence in representative governance, particularly in communities that previously had limited access to basic infrastructure and social interventions.
As Hon. Akinlayo enters the last year of his tenure, expectations remain high among constituents who are looking forward to additional investments in infrastructure, employment creation, youth development and community-based programmes across Ekiti North Federal Constituency II.
