In a powerful display of community spirit and social responsibility, the Abuja-based construction mogul and prominent son of Imesi Ward 5, Hon. Ajayi Oluwatosin Sunday (popularly known as ASO), has launched a targeted financial intervention for widows across the Aiyekire/Gboyin area. The high-profile businessman and Ekiti State University alumnus extended this support as part of a strategic effort to reinforce the grassroots impact of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji’s administration.
Throughout the 11 wards of the constituency, twenty widows were selected to receive immediate cash grants of twenty thousand naira each. This capital injection is specifically aimed at bolstering their small-scale businesses and providing a much-needed buffer against the current economic climate. Hon. Oluwatosin, speaking during the presentation, noted that his success in the construction industry in Abuja has only deepened his commitment to his roots. He emphasized that the gesture was born out of a desire to uplift struggling residents and serve as a catalyst for others to support the less privileged, promising that this is only the beginning of a broader series of planned empowerment programmes.
The event drew high-level commendation from state and local leaders who viewed the move as a perfect alignment with the state’s development goals. Mr. Olalekan Ijidale, the Director-General of the Ekiti State Bureau of Local Content, alongside Pastor Olatokunbo Adeyeye, the Chairman of Gbonyin-Aiyekire Local Government, praised the mogul for his patriotism. They noted that ASO’s initiative directly mirrors Governor Oyebanji’s vision of ensuring that the aged and vulnerable are not left behind in the state’s progress.
Beneficiaries, including Mrs. Victoria Akinola and Mrs. Oluwalusi Ajayi, were visible moved by the intervention. They expressed profound gratitude, stating that the funds would be immediately channeled into expanding their trades, thereby ensuring a more sustainable means of livelihood for their families.
