Why Akande-Sadipe Deserves Another Term in Oluyole — Aluta Networking

Ademola cites education, electricity, water projects, empowerment initiatives in assessment of lawmaker’s representation

As discussions surrounding the 2027 general elections gather momentum, Olaniyi Uthman Ademola, popularly known as Aluta Networking, has highlighted the reported achievements of Hon. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, the representative of Oluyole Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, arguing that her record since 2019 should form part of the conversation about continuity in the constituency.

Ademola, in an assessment of the lawmaker’s representation, said the impact of political leadership should be measured by projects delivered, opportunities created and efforts made to address the needs of constituents.

He noted that Akande-Sadipe’s reported interventions in education, electricity, water provision and economic empowerment were among the areas residents could consider when evaluating her performance ahead of the next general elections.

On education, Ademola highlighted reports of seven school projects commissioned in December 2022, as well as five additional school projects reportedly inaugurated in April 2025 across different communities in Oluyole.

The projects, according to the assessment, included classroom construction and improvements to learning facilities, with some equipped with desks, chairs and instructional materials. Ademola said sustained investment in schools remained essential to improving the learning environment for pupils and students.

He also pointed to electricity interventions, citing reports that seven transformers were commissioned in December 2022, followed by five additional transformers inaugurated in April 2025 in communities across the constituency.

According to him, improved electricity infrastructure could support artisans, small-business owners and households, while creating a more favourable environment for local economic activities.

On water supply, Ademola cited five solar-powered boreholes reportedly commissioned in 2022 in Temidire–Agbamu, Ile-Baale Omiyale, Alagba Olomi, Ajisola and Seko.

He described access to clean water as a critical community need, noting that sustained investment in water infrastructure could ease the burden on households and improve hygiene and living conditions.

The assessment also referenced Akande-Sadipe’s reported infrastructure advocacy, including a November 2023 House of Representatives proceeding concerning the need for pedestrian bridges along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.

Ademola further cited a July 2026 report on efforts to advance the Ijebu Igbo–Itaegba–Owonowen Road project through engagement with relevant authorities. He stressed that advocacy must translate into practical outcomes, with residents requiring safer roads, better access and timely completion of infrastructure projects.

On economic empowerment, he highlighted a fisheries and aquaculture management programme reported in January 2026, through which more than 200 constituents reportedly received training and start-up grants of ₦100,000 each.

Ademola said such initiatives could help beneficiaries acquire practical skills, establish small businesses and improve their livelihoods. He called for further programmes that would expand access to vocational training, digital skills and entrepreneurship support for young people.

Making a case for continuity, the author argued that the experience Akande-Sadipe has acquired since 2019 could be relevant to ongoing development efforts in Oluyole. He maintained that existing interventions should be consolidated, outstanding projects addressed and new initiatives designed around the changing needs of residents.

He also acknowledged that the constituency continued to face challenges in areas including roads, healthcare, electricity, water supply and security. He said these concerns should remain central to any assessment of the lawmaker’s record and future priorities.

Ademola further stressed the importance of accountability, urging improved communication between elected representatives and constituents, alongside clearer information on project funding, implementation and completion.

He maintained that the argument for another term should be examined against verifiable achievements, the status of unfinished projects and the lawmaker’s responsiveness to the concerns of the people.

As Oluyole residents look towards 2027, Ademola urged constituents to examine the available evidence and assess the contributions and limitations of their representatives before making their decisions.

He concluded that the purpose of representation should go beyond occupying public office to delivering measurable improvements in the lives of the people, adding that the future of Oluyole should be guided by accountability, opportunity and sustainable development.
