Olajumoke Abidemi Okoya-Thomas is a member of the Federal House of Representatives of Nigeria.
[2] The daughter of Chief Molade Okoya-Thomas,[3] the Asoju Oba of Lagos, she was born on 20 January 1957.
[4][citation needed] Olajumoke Okoya-Thomas assumed office on 29 April 2011 for third consecutive term at the federal house of representatives.
[6] Olajumoke Okoya-Thomas sponsored a bill on the compulsory breast feeding of babies in 2013.
The bill failed because the Representatives insisted that it is an issue best left out of the public domain as "no woman has to be forced to breast feed her child" though they admitted the unarguable health benefits of breastfeeding.
