I want to acknowledge that you have done very well,” he added. Otunba Kazeem said the new office was constructed in response to the growing need for more working spaces for the staff.
He said: “The new office building will provide more space for the staff and political officeholders, creating a more enabling environment and enhancing productivity.

He mentioned that the event centre, developed in collaboration with West End Centre Nigeria Limited, is a part of the administration’s strategy to boost Internal Generated Revenue (IGR).
“The ultimate impact we want to make from this is to generate revenue for us as a council. We want to expand our revenue sources because we have limited funds. The aim is to use that revenue to improve our healthcare, education, roads, and youth development, among others,” he explained.
He promised to execute more projects while urging members of his community to sustain their support and trust in his leadership.
