His national focus centres around his ‘Food4All Initiative’, a program aimed at achieving food security and creating mass employment through the ‘One-Family-One-Farmer Scheme’.

He has already presented the initiative to President Bola Tinubu and is working closely with the federal government on plans to launch it in October 2024.

Comrade Iyere’s vision extends beyond the governorship. He plans to assist the federal government in creating a roadmap for economic inclusion and youth engagement through social intervention programs.
