Yayi’s ITESIWAJU Plan Could Reshape Ogun, Support Economic Growth — Ayomikun

Ayomikun says Yayi’s newly presented development plan could reshape Ogun State by tackling major economic sectors and improving residents’ living conditions.

Key takeaways

  • The nine-part ITESIWAJU programme was introduced on September 21, 2026, during a meeting with the Inter-Party Advisory Council in Ogun State.
  • Its priorities range from infrastructure and tourism to agriculture, security, job creation and urban development.
  • Ayomikun says the plan would expand opportunities for women, young people, entrepreneurs and other residents.
  • He argues that Ogun should preserve effective policies and projects when political leadership changes.

Yayi’s development framework

Speaking on Friday, Ayomikun described the blueprint as a broad strategy for confronting pressing challenges in Ogun’s economy and raising the standard of living across the state.

Yayi presented the nine-pillar ITESIWAJU programme on September 21, 2026, at an engagement with the Inter-Party Advisory Council in Ogun. The framework places continuity in government and development at its centre while setting out objectives for several major sectors.

Ayomikun said Yayi had the ability to move Ogun forward because the agenda addresses nearly all of the areas he considers essential to lasting economic expansion and sustainable development.

He said the letters in ITESIWAJU stand for Infrastructure; Tourism and Culture; Economic Empowerment; Security and Welfare; Inclusive Growth and Well-being; Women, Youth and Poverty Eradication; Agriculture and Food Security; Job Creation and Industrialisation; and Urbanization and Transparency.

In his assessment, the infrastructure pillar would support Ogun’s broader progress. The tourism and culture element, he added, could strengthen recognition of the state’s heritage and unlock more of its visitor economy.

Ayomikun further said the economic empowerment, farming, employment and industrialisation priorities could open new prospects for young people, women, business owners and other members of the public. The security and welfare pillar, he said, is intended to respond to concerns about public safety and citizens’ wellbeing.

Call for continuity in government

The founder of Zee 1 for Yayi also highlighted the need for administrations to maintain valuable programmes after elections. He argued that Ogun should not discard useful policies or completed and ongoing projects simply because a new government takes office.

“Ogun deserves consistency,” Ayomikun said. He added that Yayi would build on the work carried out by Governor Dapo Abiodun rather than begin the state’s development process again. In his view, each change of administration should not require development efforts to return to the starting point.

Ayomikun said the ITESIWAJU plan could help preserve projects already under way while creating room for additional measures intended to advance Ogun.

The accompanying listing presented the item under the headline that Yayi could transform Ogun through the ITESIWAJU agenda, with Ayomikun identified as the Zee 1 for Yayi founder. The page also included navigation labels for “Newer” and “Older” items.
