Oyekunle Closes Applications for Ibadan North One-Day Representative Programme
The lawmaker representing Ibadan North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Folajimi Oyekunle (DON), has announced the closure of applications for his One-Day Representative Programme, marking the commencement of the screening and selection phase of the initiative.
The programme, sponsored and facilitated by Oyekunle, was introduced to provide constituents with firsthand exposure to the responsibilities and day-to-day workings of a federal legislator.
Applications opened about a month ago and were targeted at eligible indigenes of Ibadan North Federal Constituency who are above 25 years of age and registered voters within the constituency.
In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Akinwale Bodija, the lawmaker disclosed that the eventual winner of the programme would receive a cash prize of ₦1 million.
The first and second runners-up will also receive ₦500,000 and ₦250,000, respectively.
Beyond the financial reward, the overall winner will be sponsored on a trip to the National Assembly Complex in Abuja, where the participant will observe legislative proceedings firsthand and have the opportunity to occupy the lawmaker’s office for one day.
According to the statement, the initiative is aimed at promoting civic awareness and helping constituents gain a practical understanding of the legislative process, the operations of the National Assembly and the responsibilities attached to elected representation.
Bodija added that further information on the next stage of the programme, including the screening exercise and arrangements for shortlisted applicants, would be made public through subsequent official statements.
With the application window now closed, organisers are expected to proceed with the evaluation of submissions and the selection of successful candidates for the next stage of the programme.
