Barr. Akeem Agbaje, chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and 2027 governorship aspirant in Oyo State, earlier yesterday honoured the invitation of the Plant and Machineries Mechanic Association of Nigeria (PAMMAM), Oyo State Chapter, at the official ribbon-cutting ceremony of the association’s newly completed office complex.

The event, which gathered stakeholders, artisans, and community leaders, was described as a landmark achievement for PAMMAM, underscoring the vital role of grassroots associations in the development of the state’s informal economy.

In his remarks, Barr. Agbaje expressed deep appreciation for the honour extended to him and lauded PAMMAM for its long-standing contributions to economic growth and community empowerment in Oyo State. He emphasized that the services and expertise of the association’s members remain indispensable to industrial activities and local development.

“Professional groups like the Plant and Machineries Mechanic Association are pillars of our informal economy, and their progress is tied to the prosperity of the state. I commend this achievement and reiterate my commitment to ensuring that grassroots institutions and artisan groups receive the recognition and support they deserve.”

“I pray Almighty Allah strengthens PAMMAM, grants it greater heights, and blesses it with more accomplishments in the years ahead.”
