Below is a cursory highlight of twenty representative and legislative engagements of Hon. Surajudeen Olatunji Tijani, that necessarily make him a toast to his constituents and admirers, in Ojo Constituency 02 and beyond:

14. Self-help palliative measures on the damaged portions of Igbede and Tope/Itire road, while efforts are being intensified to draw the attention of requisite authorities to fix them
15. Coordination of the House; and its Members, and their accrual, with a sense of dexterity and diligence, in his capacity as the Chairman of House Services
16. Issuance of the sizeable financial facility to selected business owners to boost economic prosperity
