Whenever any financial or material social Intervention is rolled out in the stable of Barrister Titilope Akogun (BTA) Foundation, the enthusiasm, acceptability, admiration and frenzy it creates among the youths, women, even the elderly, especially within Ekiti/Isin/Irepodun/Oke-Ero Federal Constituency is always high and unprecedented.
This is simply attributed to the absolute believe among the constituents that such Intervention coming from BTA will not only be well thought-out in terms of drafting, planning and transparency, but also well executed to benefit the targeted beneficiaries with favourable feedbacks.
This was the case when the foundation recently launched the – “Online Banking Initiative 2025” – its latest addition to the numerous and uncountable social interventions aimed at bettering the welfare and well-being of the people of the district.
The intervention as outlined by the foundation seeks to empower small businesses with 50 POS machines, ₦25,000 startup support, Financial discipline, POS training.
You can imagine the great impact this laudable gesture would have on the lives of the beneficiaries, just like previous projects and empowerments, considering the hardship prevalence across the country.
No wonder by the first two weeks of the launch of the intervention registration, the portal was overwhelmed by applicants getting their required documents registered to benefit from scheme.
Low and behold, Amofin Akogun as fondly called by his admirers, both in Nigeria and in the Diaspora, is not holding any subvention related political position or appointment to draw free money for these laudable Interventions that have changed lives, shaped destinies and developed societies.
The most significant being that he hardly settles down after executing one intervention that benefits and impacts people across various communities in the district before coming up with another one.
Amofin Akogun has consistently demonstrated his commitment to community development through practical programs designed to address real challenges.
He has engaged in programs which seek to address the monstrous challenges confronting us as a people in our Federal Constituency. Though not on a large scale, but telling us lots are possible if given a political leverage to massively facilitate Government intervention projects.
He is not a man that would get to office and not know what to do in office.
Amofin Akogun, a respected legal practitioner of international standard, an astute grassroots political mobiliser and philanthropist, once said in an interview that, he finds happiness in exposing people to various opportunities for them to be self motivated, sufficient and reliant.
A popular Yoruba adage says “Irun Imun lowo ko se fa tu” meaning “Money is like human moustache that can not be uprooted”. For someone to prioritise social interventions that empowers and trains people alongside financial backing as start-up capital, using his hard earned resources, such person deserves a payback thank you support and acceptance.
Amofin Akogun has been on this cause for a while without looking back and still counting. Today’s actions they say signifies what tomorrow will look like.
No doubt, Kwara South, with its rich heritage and resilient people, has long deserved a champion who not only understands its challenges, but also possesses the determination to address them head-on.
Amofin Akogun is that potential candidate; that reflect a deep-seated commitment to empowering the people, sustainable growth, and restoring dignity to communities that have too often been overlooked. From education to agriculture, youth development to social welfare, his initiatives have left a great deal of impact across the length and breadth of the district.
Amofin Akogun had been a remarkable visioner not only by his administrative capabilities, impeccable character, prudency in financial management, but with exemplary leadership quality to manage people and resources efficiently and effectively.
According to Mufasa /The Lion King, a great Philosopher of high repute, “Leadership isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about being confident, decisive and having the courage to go forth and do something impactful”. Without mincing words, Amofin Akogun possesses the required leadership and administrative qualities to be a good representative, if given the honour, support and acceptance to lead the good people of Irepodun, Ekiti, Isin and Oke Ero Federal Constituency from 2027.
