A popular politician in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon . Abdul-Sobur Olawale Olayiwola fondly called Omititi, in this interview, speaks to Global Excellence on his achievements representing Mushin Constituency 11 at the State Assembly ahead of his re-election bid coming up March 2nd. when he was asked why he wanted to be re-elected, he said ” We give glory to Allah because when i looked back I know have served my constituents very well. Some of the things we did was Kick Malaria Out of Mushin Project, lots of people were able to benefit from this, I achieved this in collaboration with Rotary International. On education, we were able to cloth over 60 pupils from about 5 different schools in the constituency. We did this to reduce the burden on there parents which they really appreciated. Not only that I have been assisting my constituents in buying GCE forms for the past 4years now, every year i buy close to 200 forms and distribute to prospective students. We equally give them training, that is coaching classes to prepare them for the exam. Another high point is the computer training programme for my people, it has been running for years, we have over 2,500 graduands from that programme. We also did Make-up/Headgear tieing programme to assist those that want to take that as their profession after looking for jobs for years. We trained them as well as empower them with the kits they will use. On my primary assignment which is legislative duties, I have done well, moving lots of Motions. Hopefully my Bill will be passed at the 9th Assembly, its about how Bureau de Change operators in the state will be well registered and regulated by the state so that the state can benefits from there operation to increase the internally generated revenue of the state.. For representation, I have really fought for my people on several occasion, when Alamutu market was closed down i intervened and consulted with the Governor to make sure it was reopened. When over 213 members of my constituency were arrested in Akala, I also intervened to make sure all of them were released.” He concluded.
