Workers are Critical Players in Governance – Engr. Nurudeen Adeyemi Balogun

 

The ENACT Principal has appraised the importance of workers in the day-to-day socio- economic development of any society. This was contained in his Workers day’s message released in Ilorin today. *Happy workers day to all civil and public servants in Kwara State. This day is an occasion to reiterate the importance of workers and appreciate their commitments in the governance process. Infact, they are critical players with whom a successful government must reckon with and appreciate with good welfare packages

 

In Kwara, we are aware of government efforts not just to improve the welfare of workers through prompt and legal wages, but also with continuous career trainings and prompt promotion exercise for effective and efficient service delivery. Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has been friendly in this regards, and will do more in nearest future.

It is my humble advice that workers should be a partner in progress with the administration of AAtoo encourage a committed government of AA to do more for them. God bless our workers on their special day

ENACT Deepening Democractic Principles

 

Came across a publication that is laced with facts, but had some twisted conclusions or opinions.
ENACT principal Engr. Nurudeen Adeyemi Balogun is a philanthropic and community development oriented individual that provides financial support to many organizations doing great things in our communities. One of his flagship support programs is the renowned Igbomina Mobile Clinic bringing healthcare relief to the doorsteps of many of our people in Igbomina land (Irepodun, Isin, Ifelodun) and supported Offa Descendants Union North America medical mission to Offa and its environs.

 

Equally, ENACT initiated Mobile Clinic has traversed the length and breath of the remaining four local governments Oyun, Offa, Ekiti, and Oke Ero in order to bring healthcare relief to our people outside of the normal coverage of Igbomina Mobile Clinic.
A recently launched program is the ENACT INNOVATION HUB that has positively impacted the lives of many people in Kwara South by empowering them with skills acquisition that can be translated into economic security immediately. Many positive stories are abound to testify to the impact of the programs. There are equally interventions in water borehole repairs and sinking of new ones and interventions in the areas of Education in form of school repairs and refurbishment, school kits, and school fees support.

For any democracy to thrive, CSOs Civil Society Organizations and NGOs Non-governmental Organizations have critical roles to play. The success of any democracy is predicated on the principles of transparency and accountability. In this light, ENACT looks for organizations that are promoting the ideals of democracy and lend financial support where necessary as they are critical to the development and progress of our democracy and society.

According to the publication “The Deputy Coordinator of ENetSuD, Mr Lanre Oso revealed this on Thursday while featuring on a live radio program titled ‘Ipinle mi/My State’ on OFM Ilorin.

According to him, Engr Nurudeen Adeyemi ENACT, a close ally of Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq is sponsoring one of ENetSuD radio programmes in order to enlighten the citizens, monitor the spending of government under the leadership of His Excellency, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and ensure transparency under his led administration.”

That the government of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq is fully committed to transparency and accountability to the good people of Kwara State is not a secret as the government established partnership with many CSOs such as Elite Network for Sustainable Development (ENetSuD).
Therefore, ENACT financial support to a group like ENETSUD is in furtherance and in support of the good governance vision of the government of Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

ENETSUD is involved in many activities that have helped in bringing government closer to the people. On many occassions, ENETSUD assessment teams have uncovered numerous communities needing water or other amenities that the government and other well meaning members of the society have been able to step up and close the gap fairly quickly.
Part of ENETSUD positive impact on the government is the standardization and improvement in procurement processes of the state that has allowed the state to be cost effective and deliver value for money to the good people of the state.
It is not a secret that many feel that despite the great work being done by ENETSUD, some of their public reporting can come across as fodder for the opposition. That any relationship may be strained from time to time is not news. It is as a result that ENACT has tried to play a role as a mediator and advisor from time to time in order to ensure that we are deepening the principles of democracy while trying to ensure fair and balanced reporting that is focused on problems or gaps identification while government can look for appropriate method or means of closing the gap. An example is the contract standardization and procurement process improvement potentially saving the government and the people of Kwara billions of naira.

As a person aspiring to represent the good people of Kwara South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Engr. Nurudeen Adeyemi Balogun is fully committed and fully bought into the vision and leadership of Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq especially in the areas of deepening democractic principles. One of the areas that many of the CSOs and NGOs can be of impact in helping Engr. Nurudeen Adeyemi Balogun serve the good people of Kwara as a Senator God willing is the ready access to their many Community Needs Based Assessments that many of our elected representatives are not currently taking advantage of today. Leading to some elected representatives facilitating water to communities looking for power or facilitating power to communities looking for water.

Therefore, Engr. Nurudeen Adeyemi Balogun sees partnership with credible CSOs and NGOs as critical development tool in service of the people.

Engr. Nurudeen Adeyemi Balogun (ENACT) has met with Alh. Raheem Adedoyin in the US to formally congratulate the IPI Secretary, on his recent election into the World governing board of IPI.

Raheem Oloriewe and Engr. Nurudeen Adeyemi

Adedoyin was elected unoppose in September 2021 during IPI 70th general assembly in Austria. Engr. Adeyemi expressed his happiness that Oloriewe’s professional network is promoting the image of Kwara South, the State, and the country at large.
During the courtesy visit, several issues that border on the overall development of the State especially as it relates to the Kwara South Senatorial District were discussed alongside the representative leadership of the District.

I have always detested politics of deception; politics of selfishness; politics of greediness; politics of pocketing (if anything like this) because these are politics that demean the human and capital development of any society.

So our meeting today, the king of boys offered his brilliant insights that could enliven the developmental politics of Kwara South Senatorial District.

ENACT, KDG-USA host Gov. A.A. to a Dinner in United States

 

The ENACT in conjunction with Kwara Development Group, USA hosted His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kwara State Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to a dinner and a fireside session in United States over the weekend.

The dinner parley was organised to appreciate the Governor on many developmental strides and recognition of same by well meaning Kwarans. Recently, the Governor bagged a well-deserved Leadership Newspaper Governor of the Year 2020 award.

According to Engr. Nurudeen Adeyemi who spoke at the event, the ENACT friends and families showed the Excellency the gratitude and appreciation for all the great works being done on behalf of our great State and its people. We congratulated the Governor on the many strides in Education, healthcare, security, Infrastructural development, Social Safety net, prudent management of state’s resources, level playing field for government employment and contracting opportunities for local contractors, etc.

The Governor, for his part, shared with the gathering his vision for our state and his plans to put many of our people to work. Our beloved Excellency believed in the idea of a living wage apart from a minimum wage. Minimum wage guarantees a worker a take home wage while a living wage ensures that a worker can live an honest living while taking care of his family without needing any side hustle or sharp practices.

He said the administration is working towards making Kwara an economic hub with its attendant effects on revenue generation, job creation, and good living for the people.

He said the state has a laser focus plan to develop the Osi and Ilesha Baruba Campuses of KWASU as well as revive moribund industries in our state, thereby putting our people to work. The Okin Biscuits conglomerate can become a centre of employment excellence for our people. Infrastructure and critical roads projects in Kwara South are especially important to our beloved Governor.

Designing and implementing all these working plans are what stand out progressive governance, which translates to empowering individuals and families for the betterment of the society.
