We are committed to building a state where every citizen, regardless of background or social status, has equal access to opportunities, dignity, and prosperity. Our vision is to create a government that is accountable to the people, responsive to their needs, and capable of delivering meaningful, lasting change.

 

In this manifesto, we outline the key pillars of our platform and the specific policies we aim to implement in Oyo State. We believe that by focusing on these core areas, we can uplift the lives of our people, foster sustainable development, and ensure a better future for generations to come.

What We Stand For

Quality and Accessible Education for All

Education is the foundation of our future, and the Oyo State Labour Party is dedicated to ensuring that every child receives a quality education, regardless of their family’s income or background.

We will work to provide universal basic education by ensuring that all children have access to free, quality schooling, improving infrastructure, providing learning materials, and hiring qualified teachers.

 

Additionally, we will focus on technical and vocational training to equip students with practical skills that align with the demands of modern industries, ensuring that our graduates are job-market ready.

Healthcare for All

Good health is the foundation of a productive society, and the Oyo State Labour Party believes that access to affordable, quality healthcare is a basic human right.

We will maintain a state-wide health insurance scheme to make healthcare affordable and accessible, especially for the most vulnerable populations.

Additionally, we will prioritize maternal and child health services to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates and prevent avoidable health crises.

Finally, we will invest in the welfare of healthcare workers, providing them with the training, support, and fair compensation they deserve for their vital role in society.

Infrastructure Development & Urban Renewal

Oyo State deserves modern infrastructure that drives economic growth and improves the quality of life for all. We are committed to investing in infrastructure projects that promote development and ensure no community is left behind.

We will enhance roads and transportation networks, connecting urban and rural areas, and explore alternative transportation options such as rail and public transport systems to reduce congestion and improve mobility.

We will also focus on energy and electricity by investing in renewable energy solutions and expanding electricity access to rural areas, ensuring reliable power for every household. Additionally, we will develop affordable housing projects and upgrade slums and informal settlements to provide decent living conditions for all citizens.

Agriculture & Rural Development

Agriculture remains the backbone of Oyo State’s economy, and the Oyo State Labour Party is committed to making it a key driver of wealth creation and food security. We will provide support for farmers by offering access to loans, modern farming equipment, and training on innovative agricultural techniques to boost productivity.

In addition, we will focus on rural development by ensuring that rural communities have access to essential services such as healthcare, education, clean water, and good roads, ensuring that no part of Oyo State is left behind in our push for progress.

Social Justice & Equity

The Oyo State Labour Party envisions a society where everyone is treated equally and fairly, and we are committed to promoting social justice and equity through policies that protect the rights and dignity of all citizens, particularly vulnerable groups. We will work to achieve gender equality by eliminating discrimination, supporting women in leadership, and ensuring equal access to opportunities.

We will also focus on youth inclusion, creating platforms for young people to actively participate in decision-making processes and governance. Additionally, we are dedicated to protecting the marginalized, ensuring that the elderly, disabled, and other vulnerable groups receive the support and protection necessary to live with dignity.

 

Youth Empowerment

We will launch skill development programs and vocational training centers to equip our youth with the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly changing job market.

 

Public Sector Reform

We will reform the public service to ensure it is efficient, responsive, and transparent in delivering services to the people.

Economic Empowerment & Job Creation

Our commitment to economic development centers on creating meaningful opportunities for all citizens, particularly the youth and working-class families.

 

Job Creation

We will work to create new jobs through targeted investments in agriculture, technology, and manufacturing. By supporting small and medium-sized businesses and encouraging local entrepreneurship, we will boost employment opportunities across Oyo State.

 

We believe in building an inclusive economy that promotes entrepreneurship, innovation, and local enterprise.

 

Good Governance & Accountability

At the heart of our mission is a government that is accountable to its people. We are committed to fighting corruption, promoting transparency, and ensuring that public resources are used for the benefit of all citizens.

 

Citizen Engagement

We will create platforms for citizen participation in governance, where the voices of ordinary people are heard and where their concerns are addressed promptly and effectively.
