Senator Lere Oyewumi: Unveiling Digital Platform For Open Representation

1



In a bid to provide an enlarged avenue for inclusive representation that could engender trust and break barriers between himself and his constituents, Senator Lere Akogun, PhD, has created a website that is going to host major happenings about his legislative activities and community engagements.


The website address is http://www.olalereoyewumi.com.ng/. It is very simple and user-friendly. 


Akogun Lere understands that democracy thrives on freedom and access to correct information.


In this age of digital revolution, he believes he must create accessible platforms where his constituents can easily access resources, activate robust engagements with him, and stay informed about policy developments.


Navigating the Website


The website has six distinct sections for unrelated, but important information. Before discussing their functions, here is a list of them as arranged on the website horizontally: Bill Sponsored, News Updates, Constituency Project, Employment, Gallery, and Your Opinion.


1. *Bills Sponsored*: Every motion or bill singlehandedly sponsored by the senator or in collaboration with fellow legislators would be made publicly available here. House resolutions and other legislative matters would be uploaded under the same segment in material time.


2. *News Update*: This will be dedicated to all newsworthy events about the senator. Media chats, interviews, commentaries, public appearances, and events with special reference to Osun West and Nigeria as an entity will be posted here.


3. *Constituency Projects*: Second to his primary duty is lobbying for developmental projects and social programs aimed at securing a better life for his district. Therefore, for every physical, material, or interventionist program secured in the name of Osun West constituents, their details would be uploaded under this section.


4. *Employments*: Information about employment opportunities in both private and public sectors would be in this category. With his connection, any job created or facilitated for the people of the constituency would be here as well as brief information about beneficiaries.


In addition, this section would house information about special programs such as educational interventions, digital training, sports, and youth engagements.

 

5. *Gallery*: Photo and video clips about the legislator's engagements at all levels can be found here.


6. *Opinions*: This section is exclusively for the people of this constituency to reach out to the senator with legislative ideas, social justice issues such as workplace injustice, community needs, and unjust treatment at any level against an individual or a group.


While submitting such issues, evidential details such as documents, pictures, or videos should be attached for quick attention and why such issues are important to you, your community, or your group. Equally, flesh them out for clarity.


The idea behind this creation is to ensure that everyone has access or a way to speak with their representative without knowing someone. Akogun Lere has pledged to carry everyone along in this journey to promote inclusivity.


The platform is also important for the assessment and appraisal of his efforts in the upper chamber of the national assembly by the public.
