Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Inter-governmantal affairs, Honorable Akin Alabi has on Wednesday commenced the distribution of working tools and 30 days training for no fewer than five hundred tailors in Egbeda and Ona Ara local government areas of Oyo state.

Alabi commenced the distribution at an empowerment program held for tailors in the two local government areas which was held at the Kayoya Bus Stop, New Ife Road, Ibadan.

Alabi who currently represents Egbeda/ Ona Ara federal constituency in Oyo state said that he took the step to donate the working tools because the tailors needed the materials.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain while speaking urged the beneficiaries of the gesture to make good use of the items which includes sewing machines and other tailoring materials.

Alabi while presenting the items to the beneficiaries said that two hundred and fifty tailors are to benefit from the empowerment program on Wednesday while another two hundred and fifty are to benefit on Thursday.

He urged the beneficiaries to make wise use of the items.

He said, "I remember when I was campaigning, I met different kinds of groups of tailors and I said that I will not forget them. I know that they are important, what they say is authentic.

"I know that many of them are in this business and they don't have money and working tools. And I said that I will help them when I have the opportunity in Abuja. And I said that I will use the opportunity to benefit the tailors.

"We are here for empowerment of tailors in Egbeda/ Ona Ara federal constituency. The first batch, we are empowering 250 today and 250 tomorrow. We have trained them in latest techniques and development in fashion designing.

"This is in conjunction with Nigeria Institute of Transport Technology as one of the zonal intervention program for my constituency.

"I am advising the beneficiaries to make use of the tools, they should make use of them. We discovered that some people because they are hungry, they sell what they give them as empowerment tools, they should not do that.

"This is not the last one, we are doing this for only the tailors and 500 people are to benefit from this batch.

Some of the beneficiaries among whom are Adedapo Adekunle and Halimat Olaniyan lauded the lawmaker for the gesture. They all commended the lawmaker for the gesture.

Dis Akin alabi guy na scam to me...



The thief has so many businesses is running apart from from online biz or nairabet...I remembered wen his brother on max FM saying dat d 80 million dat someone won on nairabet pained dem a lot...I guess is not to empower Nigerians but to make deir family rich even as now a honourable ...na eye service d clown dey do for house of rep...

Ok

when will all this thing stop? Out of 100million they are spending 10k and we are praising them.



hmmm Oluwa what is our offense?

Nice one from Nairabet CEO

thats good coming from akin alabi because he is a chairman in government house and also a chairman in the streets..
akin alabi is a popular figure for street because 90% of the county youths are now into football betting..
i think he should give more and try to empower the youths because he had always gain alot revenue through football betting..
i think its a good way of giving back to his community and if other owners of the numerous betting platform in Nigeria give back like this, it would be appreciated..
and lastly i urge the beneficiaries to put in more work and use the tools given to assit themselves and also mr Akin should also tell them the need to put in more work and less of football betting..

Nice

Ok

Paid post that is making fp immediately

This is commendable.. Ibadan N'ile Oluyole


Other lawmakers should learn from this, not sharing detergents, bucket, and ropes for beneficiaries

This man ruined a lot of life in Nigeria through his Bet9ja nonsense especially the virtual games.
