Gives Ibadan Motor Parts Dealers N90m Support, Donates 100 Solar Lights
The All Progressives Congress candidate for Oyo South Senatorial District, Aderemi Oseni, has announced a N90 million support package for motor parts dealers at Araromi Gate Market in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Oseni, who represents Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, announced the package on Saturday during an engagement with traders at the market.
The intervention comprises a N50 million interest-free revolving loan and a N40 million grant for traders across the four major sections of the market — car, lorry, tyre and iron.
In addition to the financial support, Oseni donated 100 solar-powered streetlights to the market and pledged to take responsibility for the monthly salaries of the market’s Baale and chiefs.
He said the initiative was aimed at supporting the traders, strengthening their businesses and improving their contribution to the local economy.
Oseni said, “The motor parts dealers are critical drivers of the local economy. We must continue to support them so that they can expand their businesses, improve their livelihoods and contribute more to the economy.”
He explained that the N50 million revolving loan would be given to the traders without interest, while the N40 million grant would provide additional support for businesses across the four sections of the market.
According to him, the solar-powered streetlights would also help improve security and create a safer environment for traders and customers, particularly during evening business activities.
The APC candidate urged the traders to continue supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, saying the reforms of the Federal Government were gradually yielding positive results.
He also appealed to the traders to support APC candidates in the forthcoming elections, expressing confidence in the party’s prospects.
Earlier, the Chairman of APC Araromi Gate Market Motor Parts Dealers, Alhaji Ojo Azeez, commended Oseni for his contributions to the development of the Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency.
Azeez said the traders had confidence in Oseni’s leadership and his ability to deliver on his promises.
“We believe in your achievements so far. By the grace of Almighty God, you shall defeat your opponents hands down,” he said.
The chairmen of the four sections of the market also pledged their support for Oseni, President Tinubu and other APC candidates.
The meeting was attended by the Baale of the market, Alhaji Raimi Ewebiyi, alongside leaders and representatives of the various groups and sections within the market
