These new buildings are not just about bricks and mortar; they are about making sure the people who teach and serve in our schools have a comfortable place to stay.
When teachers and NYSC members have good housing, they can focus more on the students, which leads to better grades and a stronger community.
All Wale Raji’s efforts shows that the work in Epe is continuous and focus is on the real needs of the people.
These new constructions follows a very extraordinary and long list of projects that Rep. Wale Raji has already delivered to the constituency.
Over the last few years, the lawmaker has successfully completed 2km of crucial road networks that have made moving around easier for residents and businesses.
He also built a modern mini stadium that has become a center for youth sports and local events. For the students, the legacy includes a state-of-the-art ICT Centre to help youths learn digital skills, as well as 100-bed hostels for both boys and girls at Epe Grammar School.
These past projects, which also included refurbished classroom blocks and staff quarters, have already changed the face of education in Epe, giving students a better environment to learn in than ever before.
Beyond the ongoing school renovations, the educational footprint of the lawmaker has expanded to over 150 classrooms facilitated across the constituency.
Recent milestones include the commissioning of 18 new classrooms—six at Ansar-Ud-Deen Primary School and twelve with modern toilets at Anglican Primary School, Ebute Afuye.
Furthermore, three brand new schools were recently unveiled in Oko-Abe, Ilege, and Owu-Ikosi, bringing public education to remote and riverine areas that were previously overlooked.
These schools were fully furnished and handed over to the state authorities to ensure that children no longer have to trek long distances to access quality learning.
The economic and agricultural sectors are also receiving a major boost.
One of the most celebrated achievements is the complete reconstruction of the ancestral Ayetoro Market, where 400 modern shops were handed over free of charge to original allottees and new traders.
This “Renewal of Hope” initiative is being replicated with the upcoming Araromi, Pobo, and Mowowale markets. Meanwhile, work has reached the foundation stage at the new Model Livestock Market in Poka, within Eredo LCDA.
The project is designed to feature purpose-built shops, sanitary facilities, and storage units to ensure that farmers and livestock traders operate in a healthy, organized environment.
Additionally, the lawmaker has empowered 100 MSMEs with financial grants of N100,000 each to stimulate local business growth.
From building the Oguntedo bridge to end perennial flooding to installing solar street lights and facilitating military career sensitization for the youth, the focus remains on holistic development.
By spreading these projects across Epe, Agbowa, and Eredo, the goal is to ensure that no community is left behind, transitioning from the “learning” phase of a first term to the “delivery” phase of a second term.
It is believed as is, that Wale Raji will do more and of course, it is not without concrete evidences.
