Buba conveyed his goodwill during a courtesy visit to Gbajabiamila's Lagos residence before accompanying him to the outreach event at the National Stadium in Surulere. This programme aims to empower constituents from Surulere 1 Federal Constituency.
During the visit, Gbajabiamila expressed appreciation for a landmark agreement between Nigeria and Jamaica for the deployment of skilled Nigerian labor.

This agreement is expected to benefit both countries and enhance bilateral relations.
Buba joined Gbajabiamila at the National Stadium in Surulere for the outreach event, which targeted about 5,000 constituents. The empowerment drive featured the distribution of various items, including e-hailing electric cars, minibuses, tricycles, security patrol vehicles, laptops, and cash grants to support small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs). This initiative is part of Gbajabiamila's sustained commitment to grassroots development and economic welfare.
The programme is a significant effort to support the economic well-being of constituents in Surulere 1 Federal Constituency. By providing resources and financial assistance, the initiative aims to empower individuals and businesses, promoting economic growth and development in the area. The event saw a large turnout of beneficiaries who expressed gratitude for the support.
Yusuf Buba hailed Gbajabiamila for his efforts in promoting grassroots development and economic welfare. He prayed for Gbajabiamila's continued good health and longevity in service to the nation. Buba's commendation underscores the significance of the programme and its potential impact on the community.
The 2026 Gbaja Mega Empowerment Programme is part of Gbajabiamila's initiatives to support economic development and empowerment in his constituency.
