He is not motivated by applause, yet his contributions resonate across Kwara North and beyond. From the rural communities of Patigi to the distant corners of Baruten, his efforts continue to reach those who need support the most.

Commitment to Humanity

Through the Dele Shittu Foundation, food relief has consistently reached underserved communities year after year. This initiative goes beyond Kwara North, extending into Kwara Central and Kwara South—where much of the support is sourced.

These acts are carried out without publicity, but with genuine compassion. Under the leadership of Dr. Lanre Shittu, the foundation continues to uphold the legacy of its late founder, Dr. Dele Shittu, serving as a lasting act of charity (Sadaqatu Jariya).

What sets Sen. iMs apart is his humility—he neither publicizes these efforts nor uses them for political gain.

Investing in Education

While others focus on short-term visibility, he focuses on long-term impact. Thousands of students have been supported through examination sponsorships, including UTME, WAEC, and NECO.

In addition, many young learners have received essential school materials, helping to restore dignity to education and giving them a stronger start in life.

Building People, Not Just Projects

Perhaps his most lasting legacy lies in people. Sen. iMs quietly mentors individuals, helping them grow into responsible and impactful members of society.

His leadership style is not forceful—it is nurturing. His influence is not imposed—it is cultivated. Many of those he has guided continue to serve with integrity and dedication.
