“Also, Hon. Fasonu facilitated the employment of many of his constituents, secured a job for them as teachers, nurses, workers with the Ondo State Internal Revenue and other sectors.

In his speech, during the distribution of over 2000 hybrid cocoa seedlings to farmers from Odigbo 2, comprising farmers from Araromi-Obu ward, Ago-Alaye ward, Ayesan ward and Kajola ward, Hon. Fasonu appreciated his constituency leaders, traditional leaders, All Progressive Congress (APC) leaders in his constituency, for their support and cooperation.
“Among other community development projects I have sponsored, the reason I thought about distributing hybrid cocoa seedlings to farmers in my constituency is because of the vast population of farmers here— supporting them with these hybrid cocoa seedlings will tremendously boost their productivity and efficiency.
“Myself, as a rubber farmer, I adore the role of farmers in the society— farmers are the lifeblood of any society. This initiative is to support farmers and encourage farming,
“I assure you of my unwavering commitment to growth, development and progress in our constituency,” Fasonu said.
