Candidate of the All Progressives Congress Irepodun/Olorunda/Orolu/Osogbo federal constituency, Hon. (Mrs) Abosede Kasumu Ogo-Oluwakitan on Monday launched the first edition of Ogo-Oluwakitan KAS Foundation Empowerment scheme.
The foundation, which is aimed at catering for the welfare and advancement of widows, aged people and people with disabilities at the grassroots, was launched in Ifon-Osun, Orolu local government area of the State.
The empowerment programme was for thousands of beneficiaries across different communities in the area.
In her remarks, Abosede Ogoluwakitan, said her loyalty remains 100 percent to the people of Ifon-Osun, stating that the KASS Ogo-Oluwakitan Foundation will ensure better lives for rural persons.
The House of Representatives hopeful said, “I was born and bred in Orolu, and I have spent 10years in the foreign country. Having learnt so much about how the government takes care of their citizens, I’m motivated to start my foundation. This foundation’s (nomination) form will enable all beneficiaries to have access to some token of money as grants to boost their businesses.
“The best way to reach out to people is what we’re doing now. No matter how small, it’s something. Our old parents can no longer work. The widows and then disabilities, there’s limitation to what they can do. So this is the easiest way for me to put smiles on their faces and give back to them.” She added.
