The lawmaker representing Kosofe II Constituency in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Femi Saheed, has highlighted his key achievements as a legislator while calling for increased voter support ahead of upcoming elections.

Speaking during an interactive session with residents across Kosofe, Saheed said his four-year tenure has focused on infrastructure, welfare, and youth empowerment.

According to the lawmaker, he facilitated the provision of three mass transit buses dedicated to transporting students within the constituency, a service that has run consistently for nearly four years. He also noted that 13 roads with streetlights have been facilitated, alongside the completion of major road projects in Ajagunle, Ademurin and Church Street.

Saheed further disclosed that a 1,200-capacity stadium was delivered within the constituency, in addition to a large-scale water scheme project completed at Isheri North Estate. He added that bridge projects in Agboyi and Patele Estate were facilitated, with one executed by the federal government.

On education and welfare, the lawmaker said his office supported students through provision of free JAMB forms and scholarships, while also extending assistance to indigent families. He emphasised efforts to create employment opportunities for youths through collaboration with agencies under the Lagos State Government, including the Ministry of Transport, LASMA, the Ministry of Local Government, the Civil Service Commission, and neighborhood security structures.

“We have used the mandate given to us by the people to address their needs, including stopping illegal demolitions and supporting vulnerable families within our society,” Saheed said.

Looking ahead, Saheed appealed for continued support from constituents, noting a steady increase in voter confidence.

“The first time, I received 8,016 votes. The second time, it rose to 36,896. This time, we are aiming for nothing less than 100,000 votes,” he said, urging residents to back him during the party primaries and the general election.

Describing his leadership style as people-centered, Saheed said his approach is driven by close engagement with constituents. “I live among my people. I understand their needs, and their requests guide my actions,” he stated.

He also stressed the importance of voter registration, describing it as a critical tool for electing capable leaders. The lawmaker urged residents to participate actively in the electoral process to ensure continuity and effective representation in the Lagos State House of Assembly.

A resident, Bosede Ajade, an event planner, said the lawmaker has delivered significant development projects within Kosofe. She pointed to interventions in Ajegunle, where a school was renovated, a modern sports field constructed, and free school buses provided for students.

Also, a cleric, Evangelist Philip Aderana of the Oluwalogbon community, expressed support for Saheed’s re-election, citing his responsiveness during times of crisis.
