Hon. Abiodun Yinusa, Special Assistant to the President on Agriculture, is quietly but steadily making a difference in the lives of thousands across Nigeria, especially in the South-West region. Through his commitment to agricultural development, poverty alleviation, and youth empowerment, Hon. Abiodun Yinusa is delivering tangible results and restoring confidence in grassroots governance.
*Quarterly Fertilizer Support to Boost Food Production*
Understanding that agriculture remains the backbone of the Nigerian economy, Hon. Yinusa has prioritized the needs of smallholder farmers through a quarterly fertilizer distribution program. Farmers in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, and Ekiti states receive regular supplies of high-quality fertilizers to help improve crop yield and reduce production costs.
This consistent support enhances productivity, ensures better harvests, and contributes to food security in the region. The initiative aligns with the Federal Government’s food security agenda, supporting local food systems and helping Nigeria reduce its dependency on imported Agricultural products.
*Food Relief for the Most Vulnerable*
In a bid to support the Renew hope agenda of PBAT , Hon. Abiodun also oversees the quarterly distribution of 10kg bags of rice to vulnerable groups within the South-West. Beneficiaries include elderly citizens, widows, low-income earners, and women in urban and rural communities.
This targeted intervention serves as a critical relief measure for households facing food insecurity, especially during periods of inflation and rising commodity prices. By collaborating with local community leaders and civil society organizations, the distributions are carried out transparently and efficiently, ensuring that support reaches the most vulnerable. These efforts are fully aligned with the *Renewed Hope Agenda* of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which prioritizes social welfare, inclusive development, and the upliftment of underserved Nigerians across all regions.
*Empowering Youth Across the Federation*
Beyond Agriculture and food relief, Hon. Yinusa is investing in Nigeria’s future through youth empowerment initiatives focused on Technical and Soft skills development. Young Nigerians are being trained in areas such as:
* Agribusiness and AgriTech
* Vocational trades (welding, tailoring, electrical work)
* Digital literacy and Entrepreneurship
* Technical Skills
These programs are designed to make youth self-reliant, employable, and productive. Participants also benefit from starter kits, mentorship, and in some cases, small grants to launch their ventures. The program is not restricted to the South-West, it is being extended across the Federation to give all Nigerian youth a fair shot at excelling.
*A Legacy of Service and Grassroots Engagement*
What distinguishes Hon. Abiodun Yinusa is his hands-on leadership style. He doesn’t operate from afar; instead, he regularly visits communities, interacts with beneficiaries, and ensures that the programs are running effectively. His open-door approach has earned him respect among farmers, youth leaders, and grassroots stakeholders.
In a time of growing public distrust in government, Hon. Yinusa’s work is a reminder that with the right vision and sincerity of purpose, real change is possible. Through his tireless efforts, he is not just assisting the President, he is building a more inclusive, empowered, and food-secure Nigeria.
