Lawmaker representing Ogooluwa/Surulere in the Federal House of Representatives, Hon. Ojo Sunday Makanjuola, popularly known as Smato, has reiterated his commitment to bring more dividends of democracy to the people of his constituency.
Beginning the year 2025 with a strong commitment, the lawmaker noted that he would strive to accomplish more for his constituents and keep his promises, even in the face of the nation’s current hardships.
