The immediate past senator representing Kwara Central at the National Assembly, Dr. Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe, has once again demonstrated his commitment to enhancing the livelihoods of his constituents, despite no longer holding public office.
Through the 2024 Capital Project of the National Directorate of Employment, Oloriegbe facilitated an empowerment initiative benefiting 250 youth and women across Kwara State.
The event, held at the Bishop Smith LGEA premises in Ilorin, marked the second empowerment program since his departure from office.

“This initiative responds to the pressing economic challenges faced by our community,” he stated. “Our commitment extends beyond public office, reflecting our enduring aspiration to support initiatives overcoming obstacles to general wellness and fostering financial independence.”
Beneficiaries Alhaja Medinat Sayi and Mrs. Victoria Arowolo expressed gratitude to Oloriegbe for his poverty alleviation efforts, praising his continuous support to vulnerable community members.
