“Today, we open seven strategic roads, one in each ward, to boost our economy and improve accessibility. This is just the beginning of our infrastructure revolution. We also believe in investing in our future – our children. That’s why we’re distributing free exercise books and school bags to our students. Education is key, and we’re committed to supporting our young minds,” he said.
Lagos State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, while commending the council boss for policies aimed at improving residents welfare, said plans were on the way to deepen public accountability through engagements where achievements will be showcased and residents would question elected officials, followed by an independent performance assessment of council chairmen by a designated committee.
He added that the local government autonomy in addition to the tax reform starting in January would increase council’s revenue and enable them to embark on more developmental project.
Ojelabi urged council officials to improve their performance, warning that underperformance would be reported to the Local Government Commission for necessary actions.
