The 10th National Assembly was inaugurated in the middle of June, 2023. Newly elected members were confronted with the challenges of accommodations, renovations of office and equipment to settle down for business which took some weeks to organize.
Senator Fasuyi hit the ground running and by July organized self employment trainings skills for 100 Youths of Ekiti North in livestock and poultry business and modern soap manufacturing technology. Each attendee after the trainings was given poultry birds and feeds and chemical for making soap to begin small scale businesses with a start up capital in cash for the immediate expenses to be incurred.
The Senator in the month of July announced the appointment of ten youths as Special Assistants on Students Matters, Youth development, Inter Party relations, Non- Indigenes affairs, traditional and elders affairs and women mobilisation to engage critical stakeholders on the areas of needs in their respective assignments and plan the execution with the Senator.
By August, Senator Fasuyi distributed 500 bags of fertilizer to farmers in the five local government of Ekiti North without party coloration. The fertilizers were deposited in each location government council Secretariat for distribution to farmers in the localities.
In the month of September, Senator Fasuyi invited the Special Assistant Youth development and Director General of Cyril Fasuyi foundation to Lagos in a meeting with the Country Director of Microsoft in Africa to plan and strategize on how to train some youths from Ekiti North to become Microsoft Certified IT experts. The initial budget to train 25 youths, accomodations and feeding for six months was about #50 millons before the Naira exchange rate to a dollar keep skyrocketing that warranted a shift in the training program to sometime in year 2024 because the humongous amount of #100 millions was too much for a Senator who just spent three months in office. Moreso, he has Christmas package for his constituents that will still gulp several millions of Naira to celebrate the yuletide.
Senator Fasuyi distributed items like rice, indomie noddles, vegetable oil, spaghetti, Maggie, salt, wheat and semovita to Constituents to celebrate yuletide seasons and cash gift in addition. #10million was given to Ekiti North Royal Fathers to celebrate the Christmas. Cash in several millions to all the 56 political wards and leaders of the party in Ekiti North with above mentioned gifts to all of them. The Senator has also spent several millions of Naira in the interventions and treatment of Ekiti North Indigenes with critical ailments like kidney transplant, surgical operations and other ailments which he paid for without publicizing the names of beneficiaries. The beneficiaries know themselves and have been narrating the good stories to others. Millons of Naira had also been donated for annual town’s day celebrations of some towns in Ekiti North without media paparazzi.
As a person who loves education and sees it as tool for self development, Senator Fasuyi gifted two Ekiti North Indigenes who made first class degrees in their discipline with a sum of #250,000 each and a promise of scholarship for further studies. The giant strides also benefited 350students with free JAMB FORMS and Ict trainings for them at Federal University Oye Ekiti to enable them pass the JAMB examinations and secure admission effortlessly.
Some have blamed the Senator for not being in the media to publish most of these interventions for cynics to know but Senator Fasuyi has been a noted philanthropist doing all these before his election into the Senate and doesn’t see it as a big deal. Good testimonials of his good deeds traverse the length and breath of Ekiti North without any noise unlike some politicians who will come with video camera simply because of #50,000 gift to an individual or organization. As a Christian, Senator Fasuyi believes that your left hands should not know what the right hand gives out for eternal blessings.
Senator Fasuyi has just distributed 15 federal employment forms he facilitated to qualified Indigenes of Ekiti North without media presence. Among which are lawyer, dentist, geologist, Surveyors, educationists, stasticiaans etc. Their names and designations will be published for public knowledge once they resume for duties.
However, despite his insistence of non publicity, we have decided to always put out all he does because in Nigeria, nobody tells your story better than you.
As a grassroots mobilizer, Senator Fasuyi is presently with his peace loving Ekiti North people, touring local governments and dolling out cash and gifts for the Constituents to celebrate Easter unlike some politicians who are already abroad to enjoy the Easter break. Senator Fasuyi is here in Ekiti in the midst of his constituents and attending to their needs.
