“Therefore, we have no business with socio-economic failures. With the abundant human and materials resources at our disposal, nothing should hold us back from achieving our glory as a nation.

“That is the reason we all need to pull together and channel our energies in support of the administration of

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) who has been executing difficult but appropriate policies and programmes that will surely lead us to sustainable economic prosperity and national stability.

“However, the inconvenient sacrifices we are making today to build a more resilient economy, is for a better, brighter and bountiful tomorrow.”

She also spoke on her projects, saying, “In the last nine months, I have implemented some support programmes for Lagos-West constituents, including regular distribution of food items and other largesse during national celebration periods.
