It is undoubtedly true that leaders are elected to serve as representatives of the masses in their different elected positions. But this sole responsibility of leaders has almost hit the rock especially when making reference to elected members of the legislative arm of government in the country.

However, for the member representing Lagelu/Akinyele federal constituency and Chairman, House Committee on Urban Development and Regional Planning, Hon. Temitope Olatoye popularly known as Sugar has resuscitated this responsibility of productive representation through some of his life transforming programmes which he has thus far initiated across not just in his constituency alone but across the nooks and crannies of the Pace Setter State.

Through his foundation, the Olatoye Sugar Foundation (OSF), lots of lives have been touched and transformed in the areas of empowerment through ICT training, Farmers/Youths agricultural training, provision of infrastructural facilities such as roads, schools et cetera, provision of free medical services among others.

Most touching is the weekly provision of free health care services to thousands of people in Oyo State under the programme tagged: OSF Free Health Care Mission. This programme has seen over ten thousand people benefitting from free health care services thus liberating them from different ailments that have rendered some of them disabled or restless for years.
