The Ikosi-Isheri Local Council Development Area (LCDA) has convened a Stakeholders’ Forum to prepare for next year’s budget.
The event took place at Senator Bayo Oshinowo Hall, Council Secretariat, Ikosi.
Chairman of the council, Princess Samiat Bada, expressed her gratitude to participants for their support which, she said, has contributed significantly to the council’s success.
“I am pleased to announce that we have made significant progress on key infrastructure projects. We hope to bring quality healthcare closer to our people with the ongoing construction of primary health centre at the secretariat. We’ll also improve the conditions of our existing health centres to enhance access to healthcare,” she said.
Bada highlighted the council’s achievements, including the Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu administration complex, new legislative building and the completion of 32 roads across the seven wards in the council.
The council leader characterised her administration as a responsive government, saying “I am focused on empowering small businesses through provision of business support grants and business advisory services for market leaders. These initiatives have strengthened the economic capacity of our people, particularly women and youths,” she said.

“We will also expand healthcare services, intensify efforts to reduce unemployment; enhance security across the LCDA while consolidating our achievements in education, youths’ empowerment and cultural promotion,” she said.
