In a bold show of legislative engagement and economic foresight, the distinguished Member representing Oredo Federal Constituency, Hon. Esosa Iyawe, joined forces with the Chairman of the House Committee on Public Accounts, Hon. Bamidele Salam, and other lawmakers on a powerful familiarization tour of the Dangote Industries Free Zone (DIFZ) and Lagos Free Zone (LFZ) on Thursday.

The high-profile delegation was welcomed by top industry leaders including Mr. Olayinka Akande (MD, DIFZ), Dr. Olufemi Ogunyemi (MD, NEPZA), and Mrs. Adesuwa Ladoja, the MD/CEO of LFZ, a proud indigene of Oredo — Hon. Iyawe’s constituency. Her sterling leadership in the heart of Nigeria’s commercial hub is a testament to the brilliance coming out of Edo State.

The tour covered critical national infrastructure — from the iconic Dangote Refinery, a $20 billion symbol of industrial rebirth, to the Lekki Deep Sea Port, a logistical game-changer for West Africa.

But Hon. Iyawe didn’t just inspect — he spoke truth to power.

In a no-holds-barred moment, he reaffirmed his principled stance against the monopolistic practices that defined the previous management of NNPCL. “Under the former GMD, competition was strangled and transparency suffered,” he said, highlighting how these policies crippled Nigeria’s oil and gas sector for years.

Today, the tide has turned. Hon. Iyawe hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his transformative support of the Dangote Refinery, describing it as “a historic leap toward economic sovereignty and job creation for Nigerians.”

“Thousands of jobs, enhanced local refining capacity, and a reawakening of industrial hope — this is the Renewed Hope Agenda in motion,” he declared.

With leaders like Hon. Esosa Iyawe at the forefront, it’s clear that Oredo’s voice is loud, clear, and committed to championing transparency, accountability, and visionary development.
