In addition to these legislative efforts, Hon. Ojogo moved a motion urging the Federal Government to declare communities affected by sea incursions in Ilaje Local Government as disaster zones. The motion emphasises the urgent need for the relocation, rehabilitation, and empowerment of the displaced communities.
These initiatives underscore Hon. Ojogo’s commitment to addressing the pressing needs of the Ilaje/Ese-Odo Federal Constituency and driving positive change.
