Ilejemeje LGA Chairman Empowers 100 Elderly Women in Historic Initiative.

Ilejemeje LGA Chairman Empowers 100 Elderly Women in Historic Initiative.


In a groundbreaking move, the Ilejemeje Local Government Chairman, Hon. Pius Alaba Dada, has empowered 100 elderly women across the 10 wards of the LGA. This historic event was attended by dignitaries, including the Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, Hon. Olabode Folorunsho Bamidele, the Vice Chairman Ogunleye Grace, and several revered traditional rulers.


Speaking at the ceremony, Chairman Dada expressed his unwavering commitment to uplifting the lives of the less privileged in Ilejemeje. “As the Chairman, I cannot afford to fail the people who have reposed so much faith in us. It is on this premise that we have set in motion various empowerment initiatives, with the elderly being a key focus.”


The Chairman highlighted the limited resources at the LGA’s disposal, yet the administration has embarked on impactful projects such as the construction of the second phase of the permanent secretariat. “This empowerment program is a testament to our vision to put smiles on the faces of the masses,” he added.


Commissioner Bamidele commended the Chairman’s welfare-centric approach, which aligns with Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji’s administration. “The Governor’s commitment to pensioners, gratuity, and timely payment of salaries has set a new benchmark. Chairman Dada has clearly taken a leaf from this playbook, and the results are evident in his short time in office.”


The Commissioner also revealed plans to build accommodation for Nigerian Army personnel stationed in the area, further enhancing security and community development.




On behalf of the beneficiaries, Mama Oyedele Grace from Ward 3, Iye-Ekiti, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Chairman. “In these trying economic times, this gesture is truly impactful and rare. We pledge our unwavering support for the Chairman and Governor Oyebanji’s second term bid.”


The event was graced by traditional rulers, including the Oniye of Iye-Ekiti, Oba Jonathan Agboola Adeleye-Oni; the Eleda of Eda-Oniyo, Oba Julius Awolola; the Onijeshe of Ijesha-Modu, Oba Samuel Daramola; the Owa of Iludun-Ekiti, Oba Joseph Akinola; Elewu of Ewu-Ekiti Oba Bamidele Adetutu Ajayi, the Onipere of Ipere-Ekiti, and Onijaro of Ijaro who was represented by his wife. The traditional leaders praised the Chairman’s transformative initiatives and expressed optimism for the continued progress of Ilejemeje LGA under his leadership.
