Resolutions reached by stakeholders in Kwara South Senatorial District are to be transmitted directly to Bola Ahmed Tinubu as structured feedback aimed at shaping policy refinement and targeted federal interventions.

The resolutions followed a physical session of the Citizens’ Assembly convened in Omu-Aran by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (North Central), Abiodun Essiet, as part of her ongoing grassroots engagement tour of Kwara State.
The session brought together representatives of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Muslim community leaders, farmers, vigilante groups, youth and women organisations, community-based associations, and traditional rulers from Ekiti, Ifelodun, Irepodun, Isin, Offa, Oke Ero and Oyun local government areas.

Participants engaged in extensive deliberations on security, economic challenges and social development concerns affecting their communities. They articulated specific priorities and proposed practical, community-driven solutions, which will now be compiled into a formal report to be presented to the President to inform decision-making at the federal level.

Dr. Essiet described the Citizens’ Assembly as a governance feedback mechanism designed to ensure that reforms and interventions under the Tinubu administration reflect grassroots realities.
She noted that institutionalising structured citizen input would enhance government responsiveness and improve the effectiveness of programme delivery.

Following the session, the presidential aide addressed members of the Igbomina and Ekiti Traditional Council at its meeting in Ajase-Ipo, Irepodun Local Government Area, where she highlighted ongoing Federal Government initiatives across key sectors and reassured traditional rulers of the administration’s commitment to tackling insecurity.
Chairman of the Council and Olupo of Ajase-Ipo, Ismail Muhammed-Alebiosu, commended the President’s reform efforts, particularly his advocacy for financial autonomy for local governments, noting that strengthening the third tier of government would enhance service delivery nationwide.

He also described the Office of the Senior Special Assistant on Community Engagement as a strategic bridge between government and citizens.
Traditional rulers at the meeting pledged continued collaboration with the Federal Government to promote stability and inclusive growth across Kwara South Senatorial District.
