The Honourable Member representing Ibadan North Federal Constituency, Hon. Fola Oyekunle (Don), has sponsored two important establishment bills which scaled First Reading on the floor of the House of Representatives.
The bills are:
- A Bill for the Establishment of the Federal Vocational and Skill Acquisition College, Ibadan North, Oyo State
- A Bill for the Establishment of the Federal College of Nursing and Midwifery, Ibadan North, Oyo State
These bills, when passed into law, are expected to significantly boost access to vocational training and quality healthcare education within Ibadan North and its environs.
Hon. Oyekunle, who recently won the by-election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), stepped in following the demise of the late Hon. Musiliu Akinremi (Jagaban). Since assuming office, he has shown deep commitment to continuing the legacy of impactful representation.
Speaking on the motivation behind the bills, Hon. Oyekunle stated that the Vocational and Skill Acquisition College would serve as a vital platform to empower the youth with practical and technical skills that can reduce unemployment and drive local economic growth.
Similarly, the College of Nursing and Midwifery is aimed at addressing the shortage of qualified health professionals and improving maternal and child healthcare delivery in the region.
Both institutions are also expected to attract federal investment into the constituency and create job opportunities for residents.
The lawmaker reaffirmed his commitment to prioritizing education, health, and youth development as critical pillars for sustainable progress in Ibadan North.
