Senator Arise
As the saying goes, “Experience is the best teacher,” and when it comes to representing Ekiti State in the Nigerian Senate, few candidates can match the wealth of experience and expertise that Sylvester Ayodele Arise brings to the table. A seasoned entrepreneur, politician, and technologist, he is making a strong case for himself as the game-changer Ekiti needs to take its development to the next level.
With a career spanning over four decades, Arise has accumulated a treasure trove of knowledge and skills that would be invaluable in the Senate.
Though his early days as a mathematics teacher and town planner laid the foundation for his future success, his foray into business truly set him apart.
Establishing a Computer Training Institute in the US and Cards Technology Limited, a pioneering company that built Nigeria’s first Third Party Processing Facility for MasterCard International, demonstrated his ability to innovate and adapt in a rapidly changing world.
Arise’s experience even goes beyond the private sector. His tenure in the Senate from 2007-2011 was marked by notable achievements, including his role as Chairman of the Privatization Committee. His expertise in technology and finance earned him a seat on sundry key committees, including Local and Foreign Debts, Water, Banking, Insurance & Other Financial Institutions.
The astute technocrat ‘s understanding of the intricacies of governance and policy-making would be a significant asset in driving Ekiti’s development agenda forward.
So, what does Ayodele Arise’s experience mean for Ekiti State?
For one, his technocratic background would be a game-changer in a state that is ripe for innovation and progress. Arise’s knowledge of technology and finance would enable him to hit the ground running, identifying opportunities and solutions that would benefit the state and its people. His experience in the private sector would also allow him to attract investment and create jobs, stimulating economic growth and reducing poverty.
Moreover, Arise’s return to the Senate would be a breath of fresh air in a chamber that is often criticized for being out of touch with the needs of ordinary Nigerians.
And as a second-time senator, he would bring a level of maturity and understanding to the role, having already navigated the complexities of the Senate and built relationships with key stakeholders.
For Ekiti, this is a moment of great opportunity. With Opeyemi Bamidele, Leader of the Senate, representing Central Ekiti and Arise also at the helm, the state would again be well-positioned to leverage technology and innovation to drive development and improve the lives of its citizens. His experience and expertise would be a valuable asset in addressing pressing issues such as infrastructure, healthcare, and education.
Here comes the right man for the job. His wealth of experience, technocratic background, and proven track record make him the ideal candidate to represent Ekiti North in the Senate.
Once again, the people of Ekiti now have a chance to elect a leader who has the skills, knowledge, and vision to transform their state and improve their lives.
