SSA Samakin to Support Business Owners and Provide Free Healthcare in Ayedade Local Government

Comrade Abduljelil Abiodun Samakin, the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Ademola Adeleke on Media Monitoring, has announced plans to support small business owners in Ayedade Local Government. The initiative is aimed at providing financial assistance to help local businesses grow and reduce the economic hardship faced by residents.

During an interview with journalists in Osogbo, Comrade Samakin, who is the son of the former Ayedade PDP Chairman, Alhaji Yunus Samakin (popularly known as “Oriwo”), explained that the program would cover all the wards in the three major communities of Ayedade Local Government—Odeomu, Orile Owu, and Gbongan. The program will begin in early February, starting in Ward 6 of Odeomu, which is Comrade Samakin’s home ward. It will then move to Ward 5, Ward 8, and other wards in Orile Owu and Gbongan.

“As someone holding a public office, it is my responsibility to ensure that people at the grassroots benefit from the government. My principal, Governor Ademola Adeleke, is doing an amazing job in delivering development projects and welfare programs for the masses. I feel it is my duty to complement his efforts by supporting the people in my constituency,” Samakin said.

Apart from financial support, Comrade Samakin also announced plans to provide free healthcare for residents. He revealed that his office is working with the Osun Health Insurance Scheme (OHIS) to offer free enrollment forms for health insurance to people in Ayedade Local Government. This partnership will allow residents to access medical care without having to worry about the cost.

To ensure fairness in the selection process, Samakin explained that three beneficiaries were chosen from each unit in every ward across the three communities of Ayedade Local Government. The names of these beneficiaries have already been compiled, and preparations are in place to roll out the program successfully.

He emphasized his commitment to improving the lives of his people, saying, “This is not just about financial support; it’s about showing care and ensuring that our people have access to basic needs like healthcare and economic empowerment. Together, we can create a better future for everyone in Ayedade Local Government.” Com. Samakin concluded
