The female wing of the political bloc of the immediate member House of Representatives, Kosofe federal constituency, Hon. Prince Rotimi Agunsoye, otherwise known as the ROT Babes are engaging the women of the federal constituency in a three-day skill acquisition programme.

 



The skill acquisition programme which began on Wednesday is tagged: “Empowering women and youth through skill acquisition programme” and is being held at the Magodo office of the two-term federal lawmaker.

 

At the programme which will end on Friday, hundreds of participants across the federal constituency are being trained in various vocations such as cream making, soap making, headgear making and cosmetology.

 

The programme, according to the president of the ROT Babes, Alhaja Rukayat Olashile Ahmed, was designed to consolidate the accomplishments of Hon. Prince Rotimi Agunsoye who had engaged the numerous youth and women of the constituency in different vocations and empowerment programmes.

 

She stated this in her opening address on Tuesday while welcoming guests and participants to a seminar held to herald the three-day event

 



She, therefore, appealed to the participants to take advantage of the opportunity for their well-being.

 

Meanwhile, at the end of the seminar held on Tuesday, speakers were of the unanimous opinion that women need to focus more on identifying their talents and enhancing their capacities to effectively create an equilibrium between political and family life.

 

 

The seminar which had the theme: “Balancing Politics and Family as a Woman,” saw participants from across the federal constituency being taken on a roller coaster of educative and motivating ideas by the guest speakers.

 

 

Speaking at the event, the Iyaloja of Alaba Market in mile 12, Yeye Modupe Ojo, believed that women can enhance their human capacities through politics and at the same time remain responsible mothers and wives by being disciplined, committed and industrious.

 

While appreciating the supportive role men play in granting their wives the leeway to take an active part in politics, she noted that no man would be happy seeing his wife exhibiting acts of immorality and frivolity in the political arena.

 

She, therefore, charged them to be up and doing by engaging themselves in positive and productive endeavours to remain relevant in the political scheme of things.

 

She said: “Think of what you can do for yourselves in politics and not what leaders can do for you.

 

“Don’t be shy and don’t be too proud; remove pride if you want to succeed. What our leader Hon. Rotimi Agunsoye would be proud of is for us to remain firm, industrious and productive.

 

“Politically we can develop our callings, stop making nothing out of your life and start making something in your life”.

 

Also speaking at the seminar was the former Secretary to the Local Government Agboyi-Ketu LCDA, Hon. Gbenga Osobu.

 

Hon. Osobu while lecturing the participants on entrepreneurship, charged them to seek more knowledge to effectively position themselves for political and business opportunities.

 

In addition to self-positioning, Hon. Osobu stressed the importance of good relationship management, self-economic management and networking as other key techniques the participants must employ to achieve financial prosperity and sustainability.

 

Another guest speaker at the event, Mrs. Rukayat Akinwande, averred that the participants can effectively navigate through the complexities of politics and create an equilibrium with their familial responsibilities through flexible time management, delegating responsibilities and supporting childcare initiatives.

 

 

Others who spoke at the event are APC LGA Chairman Ikosi-Isheri, Comrade Seyi Odufowokan; Former Supervisor in Kosofe LG, Hon. Sade Olumuyiwa Kosofe LGA Mandate Woman Leader, Mrs. Modupe Akerele; Mr. Kayode Olaegbe aka “Kay Dollar”, Mr. Abideen Olawale Fasasi aka “Gbafun” and Former Senior Legislative Aide to the Speaker House of Representatives, Olusegun Apena.

 

Also on Tuesday, free medical tests on HIV, blood pressure and Covid 19 doses were provided by the

organizers of the event in conjunction with Heartland Alliance.
