FAECO kicks off ward-to-ward campaign with 16km Isara–Ago-Iwoye road reconstruction, streetlight promises

Hon. (Mrs.) Olufunmilayo Efuwape, popularly known as FAECO, has pledged to pursue the reconstruction of the estimated 15–16-kilometre section of the Isara–Ago-Iwoye road within Remo Federal Constituency, alongside the provision of streetlights for Ward 4 in Isara, Remo North Local Government Area of Ogun State.

FAECO, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the House of Representatives seat representing Ikenne, Sagamu and Remo North Federal Constituency, made the promises on Thursday, November 12, 2026, during the commencement of her ward-to-ward campaign tour ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The Isara–Ago-Iwoye road stretches approximately 32 kilometres, with the portion falling within Remo North and, by extension, Remo Federal Constituency estimated at between 15 and 16 kilometres.

Addressing residents during her engagement in Ward 4, Isara, FAECO pledged to ensure that the section receives attention, highlighting the road’s importance to transportation, commerce and the movement of goods and services within the benefiting communities.

She noted that reconstructing the route would ease transportation difficulties, improve access for businesses and traders, and strengthen economic activities among residents who depend on the road for their daily operations.

The APC candidate also promised to facilitate the provision of streetlights across Ward 4 to improve nighttime visibility and make movement safer for residents, particularly those who travel or conduct business after dark.

Speaking during the engagement, FAECO described grassroots residents as the unsung heroes of the political process, stressing that their voices, concerns and contributions must be heard and reflected in governance.

She said her experience as a grassroots politician had given her an understanding of the expectations of ordinary people and the importance of delivering tangible results at the community level.

The House of Representatives candidate acknowledged that she would return to the same constituents to seek another mandate, saying she was determined to deliver on her promises and undertake projects that would give residents concrete reasons to consider giving her another opportunity to represent them.

She explained that her ambition was to make representation count through practical interventions and visible development, rather than relying on campaign promises alone.

According to her, the responsibility of a representative includes ensuring that constituents can point to meaningful improvements when the time comes for another electoral mandate.

FAECO also spoke about the importance of having complementary representation at the state and federal levels, saying residents of Remo North could make her legislative responsibilities easier if she eventually secured the federal mandate by supporting Hon. Adebiyi Adeleye for the local government’s House of Assembly ticket.

Describing Hon. Biyi Adeleye, who was present at the campaign engagement alongside the incumbent Ogun State House of Assembly member, Hon. Dickson Awolaja, as her brother, she highlighted the importance of working relationships between representatives at different levels of government in addressing the needs of their constituents.

The campaign activities also featured a raffle draw, through which participants won various prizes, including sewing machines, hair dryers and grinding machines, among other items. The exercise added an empowerment component to the event, with winners receiving items that could support their domestic and income-generating activities.

The ward-to-ward campaign kickoff covered Wards 4 and 8 in Orile-Oko, Remo North, attracting party faithful, community stakeholders, women, youths, artisans and other residents. The engagements provided an opportunity for FAECO to interact with community members and hear their concerns and development expectations.

As part of the activities, she also visited Orile-Oko Community High School, where she encouraged pupils to remain committed to their education and distributed exercise books to all the pupils as part of her educational support initiative.

The ward-to-ward campaign tour is expected to continue across Ikenne, Sagamu and Remo North, with further engagements planned to reach communities and residents across the federal constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections.
