Lawmaker representing Osogbo/Olorunda/Irepodun/Orolu Federal Constituency, Hon. Olubukola Oyewo, has once again empowered several individuals in his domain with agricultural training and inputs.

This latest intervention of Rep Oyewo was done through a training course in Oil Palm Farming and Production put together in partnership with Federal Co-operative College, Ibadan. 

The programme, which was held from Monday 3rd to Friday 7th of October in Osogbo and Orolu area of Osun State, was attended by a good number of youths and women taken from all political wards of the Constituency. Beneficiaries were trained on modern methods and techniques of oil palm farming, production and processing.

A technical partner and instructor at the five-day session, Dr John Ayinla, told participants that oil palm production has become a very lucrative business in Nigeria and across the world. Dr Ayinla noted that in addition to high demand of oil palm for preparing meals, around seventy percent of personal care products including soap, shampoo, makeup, and lotion, contain ingredients derived from palm oil. 

At the end of the event, participants were provided with starter packs such as oil palm seedlings, cash and training manuals as a guide.

High-capacity kernel processing machines were also installed at oil palm production centers across Osogbo Federal Constituency.

In a press statement issued by his media and publicity team on Friday, Rep Olubukola Oyewo revealed that the scheme was initiated as a part of efforts to ensure food security, alleviate poverty and boost job creation in Osogbo, Olorunda, Irepodun and Orolu.

According to the legislator, "I remain committed towards providing opportunities and programs geared towards improving the wellbeing and welfare of my constituents".

“I believe in sustainable empowerment schemes rather than temporary and momentary intervention programs. This is a major reason why we have selected productive and lucrative ventures to empower the teeming unemployed individuals in Osogbo Federal Constituency, ” he said.

A beneficiary from Olorunda area, Musibau Layi, expressed delight and appreciation over the gesture of the APC chieftain, describing the training he received as a worthwhile and life-changing experience.
