scientists, law enforcement officers, business executives, educators, writers, engineers, computer experts, and lawyers. I hope a few of you someday become legislators like me or even Governor of Oyo State. Trust me I would
vote for you."

Why education we asked her ? She said "I believe so passionately in helping provide opportunities such as this is because education has the
potential for transforming our nation thereby creating progress and growth. Every citizen is a pillar of the nation and a nation rests on billions of such pillars. The more educated the pillars are, the stronger the nation’s foundation would be.
Also access to affordable quality education is the key to Knowledge. Economic Freedom and National Development.

programme

• In the second year the beneficiaries would be students who have 3 years maximum to graduation and this will

The selection of candidates were purely from Oluyole and they were all seleted based on merit, it also had a fair representation of both male and female benefitiaries, parents of the candidates showered prayers on Hon Sadipe.

The people of Oluyole applaud Sadipe and commend her for active role in the House of assembly she has made several contribution on the floor, she recently moved a motion on Diaspora Remittances inflow to Nigeria and Urged the house to look into as Nigeria is set to generate higher revenue from Diaspora Remittances in future.
