The impactful outreach, which took place at Ikeja Grammar School, focused on educating female students about menstrual health, hygiene, and self-confidence during their monthly cycle. The initiative also featured the distribution of sanitary pads to the students, ensuring they are well-equipped to manage their periods with dignity and comfort.

Representing Hon. Ogundipe at the event, his aide, Hon. Adefemi Fatai, delivered a message of encouragement and enlightenment to the young girls. He emphasized the importance of understanding menstruation as a natural phase of life.

Speech by Hon. Adefemi Fatai (On behalf of Hon. Ogundipe)
“Dear students, today’s programme is designed to prepare you for an important stage in your lives. Menstruation is a natural biological process and a sign of growth and maturity. There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
What is most important is maintaining proper hygiene during this period. By doing so, you protect your health, boost your confidence, and continue your daily activities without fear or discomfort.

Our principal, Hon. Ogundipe Stephen Olukayode, remains committed to your well-being through initiatives like this. We want you to feel supported, informed, and empowered at all times.”

The programme was well received by the school community, with students actively engaging in the session and expressing gratitude for the knowledge shared and items distributed.
The Principal of Ikeja Grammar School, Mrs. Ayilara, commended Hon. Ogundipe for his consistent dedication to community development and youth empowerment.

Remarks by the School Principal, Mrs. Ayilara 
“We are sincerely grateful to Hon. Ogundipe for this thoughtful and impactful initiative. He has always shown an unwavering commitment to the welfare of our students and the community at large.

I must say that many of my colleagues have always spoken highly of him, and today, I am delighted to experience his generosity firsthand.

To our dear students, I encourage you to make the most of this opportunity, embrace the knowledge shared today and appreciate this kind gesture. This initiative is not just about the materials given, but the awareness that will guide you throughout your lives.”

The “Pad a Girl Initiative” continues to stand as a vital intervention addressing menstrual health challenges among young girls, particularly in public schools. By combining education with practical support, the programme helps to break stigmas surrounding menstruation while promoting hygiene, confidence, and school attendance.

Hon. Ogundipe’s sustained investment in human development through the OMOJ’OMOLO CARES platform underscores his commitment to grassroots impact and inclusive representation in Oshodi-Isolo Constituency-01.

Our journey began in childhood and blossomed into a lifelong bond built on trust, shared values, and unshakable loyalty. His sudden passing is a profound loss, not just to me personally, but to his family, friends, our political community, and the entire Oshodi-Isolo Local Government.
