3 min readIfo Local Government Area (LGA) in Ogun State is poised for a transformative change as Prince Gideon Adeyemi, a key contender for the Ifo Local Government Area chairmanship under the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has unveiled an ambitious manifesto that outlines his vision for the community.
His agenda centres around addressing the pressing issues of empowerment, healthcare, education, security, and sports development, all aimed at fostering a more prosperous and equitable society for the people of Ifo.
Empowerment, especially for youth and women, is at the heart of Adeyemi’s manifesto. He recognizes the critical challenges of unemployment and underemployment in Ifo and seeks to create opportunities for economic growth. His plan includes support for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through grants, low-interest loans, and skill acquisition programs.
He also emphasizes vocational training for youth, targeting industries such as technology, construction, and farming. Agriculture, a vital sector for Ifo, will receive a boost through the promotion of modern farming techniques and access to subsidized inputs and markets, with a particular focus on engaging young people in agro-tech and fish farming.
Healthcare is another priority, with Adeyemi proposing significant improvements to primary healthcare facilities across Ifo. He plans to upgrade healthcare centres with better staffing, essential drugs, and necessary equipment to enhance service delivery. Furthermore, he aims to collaborate with state health programs to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, especially for vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Preventive healthcare will also be promoted through community education campaigns on common diseases and self-care practices.
Education features prominently in Adeyemi’s vision for Ifo, where he plans to overhaul public schools by improving infrastructure and equipping them with modern learning tools. He is committed to making education accessible to all by advocating for reduced or free school fees. Teachers will benefit from continuous professional development programs and better welfare packages, ensuring that quality teaching is prioritized.
Additionally, Adeyemi intends to introduce scholarship schemes to reward academic excellence and offer mentorship opportunities by connecting students with industry professionals. To further improve access to education, he proposes providing public transportation for students and incorporating computerized learning with a focus on educational content.
On the issue of security, Adeyemi plans to strengthen community policing and collaboration between local vigilantes and the police. His administration will provide necessary equipment, such as patrol vans and power bikes, while installing street lights in strategic locations to deter criminal activities. Adeyemi also proposes the use of CCTV cameras in key areas to monitor criminal activities, ensuring rapid responses to security threats. He advocates for rehabilitation programs to help those involved in criminal activities reintegrate into society, thereby reducing crime and promoting social stability.
Recognizing the role of sports in youth development and community building, Adeyemi’s manifesto outlines plans to establish modern sports centres across Ifo to support various sporting disciplines. He aims to nurture local talents and create pathways for athletes to participate in national and international competitions.
By organizing local tournaments and inter-school competitions, Adeyemi hopes to foster unity and encourage healthy competition among the youth. His administration will also support talented athletes through scholarships and specialized training programs, using sports as a tool to instil discipline and reduce crime.
Prince Gideon Adeyemi’s manifesto offers a comprehensive plan to transform Ifo LGA into a hub of opportunity, security, and development. With a focus on empowering residents, enhancing education and healthcare, improving security, and fostering youth engagement through sports, his vision reflects a commitment to creating a brighter future for all.
