Hon. Shuib Salisu, Senator representing Ogun Central Senatorial District, has reiterated his commitment to fulfilling his electioneering campaign promises.
The senator expressed his determination to be known for keeping his word, citing the recent construction of a road on the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) campus as an example of his dedication to delivering on his promises.
Salisu stated this while addressing journalists in Ogun State on Friday during his official commissioning of a 12kw 48v/200A Solar Power System and Street Lights at the Nigeria Union of Journalists(NUJ) secretariat,, Iwe-iroyin, Abeokuta, the state capital.
He noted that he preferred to stay silent on his achievements so far, which is why some of it were been hijacked. Hence, he would start making it known to the public through the media.
Salisu urged the men of the fourth estate to continue with their watchdog function, adding that he is open to constructive criticism that brings more development to his constituency.
“Today we have done something different, something that is not just for immediate applause, something that is going to last for a very long time,” Hon. Shuib Salisu said. “I will continue to support the maintenance of this project.”
The senator revealed a shift in his approach to project implementation, from keeping projects under wraps to openly publicising them.
He acknowledged the importance of taking credit for his work and ensuring that his constituents recognise his efforts.
Hon. Shuib Salisu listed some of his previous projects, including:Construction of a community LCD centre at Technical College Idi-Aba, Solar power borehole at Onikolobo, Street lights at Ori-Omi, Agbado, and Odeda township and more.
“I will continue to fulfil my electioneering campaign promises. I have built the road on FUNAAB. I want to be known as a senator who made a promise and fulfilled the promise. I will continue to live by promises”. We are not people of resources, but we have what resources cannot buy. We are resourceful, we may not have access to material resources in large quantities, but God has given us an endowment when we come and that endowment is materials is more than
“Today, we have done something different, something that is not just for immediate applause, something that is going to last for a very long time, and I will continue to support the maintenance of this project. I have learnt a few lessons. I used to treat my projects as if it was a Church or Mosque affairs, what your right hand does your left hand don’t need to know, and I usually hear people say Omoyayi is not doing anything even the projects I have done, somebody else take over it i don’t care, but now I care.”
“I did the FUNAAB road I did not commission it, I did a community LCD centre at technical college Idi-Aba, I did not commission it, I did a solar power borehole at Onikolobo, i did not commission it, I did put street lights at Ori-Omi, Ewekoro, Agbado at the train station, and I also did the same thing at Odeda township did commission it, my team now I am a covert I do and I tell,, and I am going to start at NUJ Secretariat,” he added
Earlier, the State Chairman, Comrade Wale Olanrewaju, commended the Senator for providing the Solar Power System and Street Lights, saying that it would go a long way to address the problems of epileptic power supply at the union’s secretariat.
“Ogun NUJ have been experiencing interrupted power supply, and this is the first in the 37 councils we have in Nigeria. The Solar light is important in harnessing renewable energy for the betterment of our council,” the Chairman noted.
