In 2024, Hon.

Through an ambitious and wide-ranging empowerment program, D-Al-Ameen has made significant strides toward transforming the lives of his constituents, earning the title “Century Builder” for his exceptional contributions.
In a remarkable move, D-Al-Ameen launched a series of empowerment initiatives, collectively worth millions of naira, aimed at alleviating poverty, boosting businesses, and providing financial support to various groups in the constituency. His focus has been on creating opportunities for sustainable growth and uplifting those who need it most.

Sustainable Package: To ensure long-term support, he provided 50,000 naira to families and individuals to help them build or expand small businesses and ventures.
Business Booster: In a bid to stimulate local entrepreneurship, 100,000 naira was given to selected entrepreneurs to help scale their businesses and create jobs.
These initiatives have been widely appreciated for their strategic focus on both immediate needs and long-term empowerment.
Beyond his direct empowerment programs, Dr D-Al-Ameen also ensured that key community leaders—religious, political, and traditional—received financial assistance to help them better serve their communities. These stipends, which have been generously provided throughout the year, help strengthen the network of leadership within the constituency and beyond.
In addition to these announced initiatives, D-Al-Ameen has also provided unannounced and uncountable financial assistance to various individuals across Oyo State. These acts of generosity are part of his ongoing commitment to supporting the wider state and complementing the efforts of His Excellency Engr. Seyi Makinde, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, in advancing state development.
One of the standout aspects of D-Al-Ameen’s 2024 empowerment program is his emphasis on education. Recognizing that education is key to unlocking future potential, he distributed 1,000 educational notes to basic schools within his constituency.

D-Al-Ameen’s education initiatives have been applauded for their long-term vision. By investing in the next generation, he is helping to break the cycle of poverty and empower young people with the skills and knowledge necessary for a prosperous future.
In addition to direct financial aid, D-Al-Ameen has worked tirelessly to provide job assistance and employment opportunities both within Oyo State and beyond such Amotekun, OYTRMA, SUBEB, TESCOM etc. Through partnerships with local businesses, NGOs, and state agencies, he has helped constituents secure jobs, internships, and skill-building opportunities. His dedication to creating employment avenues underscores his commitment to becoming not only a financial benefactor but also a key driver of labor and economic growth.
As a builder and employer of labor being CEO of D-Al-Ameen Group of Medical Diagnostic Centers, his efforts align closely with the broader vision of Oyo State, which seeks to foster job creation and economic self-sufficiency. His role in providing pathways to employment further enhances his reputation as a true leader who understands the needs of his people.
Through his diverse and impactful empowerment programs, Hon. D-Al-Ameen has demonstrated that true leadership is about more than just political titles and influence—it’s about making tangible, positive changes in the lives of everyday citizens. His “Century Builder” initiatives reflect his unwavering commitment to improving the quality of life for his constituents and ensuring that Oyo State remains on a path of sustainable growth and development.
