By Core Reporters
The House of Representatives aspirant for Lagos Island Constituency II, Oluwatobiloba Martins-Fregene outlined his five-point development roadmap aimed at bridging the gap between governance and grassroots while positioning the constituency as a model for national replication.
Speaking on his aspiration, after picking his Expression of Interest and Nomination Form, he described Lagos Island Constituency II as the “Eyeball of Lagos State,” emphasizing its strategic importance within Nigeria’s socio-economic landscape. He noted that his aspiration is driven not just by the opportunity to serve, but by a commitment to deliver tangible dividends of democracy to the constituents with significant impact.
At the heart of his campaign is the “AGILE Core” agenda, a structured framework built around five priority areas:
He explained that the first pillar focuses on youth development, particularly through skill acquisition and the creation of a technology-driven hub to empower young people with relevant, future-ready competencies.
The second pillar centers on citizen engagement, where he plans to establish a responsive system that captures residents’ complaints, prioritizes them, and translates them into actionable development initiatives.
Martins-Fregene’s third focus is women and market inclusion, aimed at economically empowering women through vocational training and access to single-digit soft loans. He highlighted the untapped potential in local industries such as tailoring, African textile production, and crafts, noting that structured support could transform these into thriving commercial ventures with ready-to-wear products for wider markets.
On infrastructure, the aspirant identified healthcare gaps, particularly in emergency response. He stressed the urgent need for critical equipment such as defibrillators and ventilators, which he believes could significantly reduce preventable deaths in emergency situations.
Finally, he underscored the importance of culture and heritage development, proposing to refine and package Lagos Island’s rich cultural assets to attract tourism and international participation, thereby boosting local revenue and global visibility.
Martins-Fregene expressed optimism that, if elected, his initiatives would serve as a pilot model for other constituencies across Nigeria, demonstrating how targeted, people-centered policies can drive sustainable development.
“With the right structure and commitment, Lagos Island can set the pace for effective representation and grassroots transformation,” he said.
He concluded by reiterating his readiness to serve and his determination to translate vision into measurable outcomes for the people.
