In a continued show of noble dedication to grassroots development and economic empowerment, Hon. Dr. Wale Ahmed (NOBLE), the Honourable Member Representing Agege Federal Constituency, Lagos State has once again demonstrated what true leadership looks like: people-centered, purpose-driven, and impact-oriented.
The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, in collaboration with Havilah Merchants Nigeria Limited, recently held a skills acquisition and empowerment programme at the constituency office located at No. 9 Otubu Street, Agege. The event marked yet another chapter in the widely acclaimed Noble Lifeline of Support initiative, which aims to empower constituents through practical skills and essential equipment.
This impactful initiative featured the distribution of 40 sewing machines and 40 grinding machines to beneficiaries carefully selected from the Tailoring Association of Orile Agege/Agege and the Market Men and Women Association of Orile Agege/Agege. The beneficiaries, market traders, artisans, and aspiring entrepreneurs, were equipped not only with tools to enhance their trades but also with hands-on training designed to foster long-term economic independence.
Key highlights of the event included practical sessions where:
Mr. Olulude Olusegun Adebowale, Chairman of the Tailoring Association, and Mrs. Atanda, a recipient of the sewing machines, shared valuable insights on machine maintenance and the importance of excellent customer relations.
Mr. Ahmed Adebayo and Mrs. Bola Omotesho, executive members of the Market Association, also engaged beneficiaries on how to effectively operate and maintain the grinding machines for optimal business growth.
Distinguished guests at the high table included:
Alhaji Sani (from Abuja)
Mr. Kayode (from Abuja)

Hon. Michael Olusegun Balogun , Councillor Aspirant, Ward F Agege Local Government
This empowerment drive is more than just a routine programme, it is a movement. A movement to uplift, to equip, and to transform the lives of constituents. Through this initiative, Hon. Dr. Wale Ahmed is actively transforming beneficiaries into job creators by giving them access to vital resources, training, and tools for success.
As a representative who leads with compassion, action, and vision, Hon. Wale Ahmed continues to demonstrate that true representation means delivering meaningful change.
