Agricultural Initiatives Led by Hon. Yemisi Alashe in Ejigbo LCDA

Ejigbo, Lagos – December 20, 2025 – Hon. Yemisi Bailey Alashe, former Supervisory Councillor for Agriculture and Community Development in Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), has been a key figure in promoting sustainable agricultural practices and community empowerment during her tenure. While specific project details from her time in office (around 2020) are limited in public records, her role focused on advancing local agriculture to enhance food security, youth involvement, and economic growth. Below is a summary based on available information and her ongoing advocacy.

Role and Contributions as Supervisory Councillor

• Supervisory Position: As Supervisor for Agriculture and Community Development, Alashe oversaw initiatives aimed at boosting local farming and integrating community participation. Her election as Chairperson of the School-Based Management Committee for Oke-Afa Senior College in 2020 highlights her broader commitment to education and development, which often intersected with agricultural training for youths.
• Youth Empowerment in Agriculture: Alashe has emphasized youth involvement in agriculture, aligning with her vision for Ejigbo’s future. In social media posts, she has highlighted programs to create jobs and empower young people through agricultural ventures, positioning farming as a pathway to economic independence.

Broader Impact and Advocacy

• Community Development Integration: Her work integrated agriculture with community development, supporting grassroots efforts like market access for local farmers and sustainable practices to reduce post-harvest losses. This laid groundwork for later initiatives in Ejigbo LCDA, such as the “Oja Oko Scheme” under the current administration, which builds on similar themes of connecting farmers to consumers.
• Vision for Ejigbo: As an aspirant for LCDA Chairperson in 2025 elections, Alashe has continued to advocate for agricultural progress alongside health, education, and economic empowerment. Her platforms stress a “brighter future” for Ejigbo through inclusive initiatives that prioritize local needs.

While detailed metrics on her specific projects (e.g., number of beneficiaries or funded programs) are not extensively documented in public sources, Alashe’s leadership has been praised for fostering a people-centered approach to agriculture.
