Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele Renovates Iyin-Ekiti School

Opeyemi Bamidele, the Senate Leader, has completed a renovation of Government Science College in Iyin-Ekiti, Ekiti State, with the project valued at over N200 million. This renovation replaces aging classrooms and facilities, creating a sustainable learning environment.

Since assuming the role of Senate Leader in July 2023, Bamidele has overseen the passage or amendment of over 108 bills, including the Student Loan Act of 2024, which provides funding for over 500,000 students through NELFUND. He also secured federal funding for the establishment of the Federal University of Technology and Environmental Sciences in Iyin-Ekiti, addressing the lack of a tertiary institution in his community.

Additionally, Bamidele provided buses for the college and the Federation of Iyin-Ekiti Students and Indigenes to improve student transportation. His contributions extend beyond education, with infrastructure developments including over 50 roads, 12 mini-stadiums, and healthcare improvements across Ekiti State.
