ANUOLUWA OPENIYI

The Executive Chairman of Ikeja Local Government Area, Engr. Dr. Mojeed Alabi Balogun, embarked upon and delivered on the rehabilitation of the roads within Ikeja LGA.

The road projects, which were fully and nicely rehabilitated within the areas, included Olawaiye Street Anifowoshe, Samota Faola Street, Seidu Ajibowu Street, Church Street, Fadeyi Street, amongst others. The road projects were carried out by a team of experts in the field of road construction.

It will be recalled that the Chairman, Dr. Mojeed, recently upgraded the drainage system in some areas of Anifowoshe, Ikeja. Specifically, the road rehabilitation in Olawaiye Street was not the without the construction of a good drainage system for easy passage of water. This to the Chairman is one technical way of avoiding over-flooding during the rainy seasons.

Speaking on the project in a statement as conveyed by Anuoluwa Openiyi, Chief Press Secretary to the Executive Chairman, the Council boss emphasized on the need to ensure the provision of good road network for the people of Ikeja Local Government Area.

“I believe when good road system is made available for our people, it will ease the movement of everyone within the locality. Social and economic activities will be encouraged and life of the citizens will greatly be affected” the Council Chairman posited.

The Council Chairman further stated that the essence of grassroots governance is to have meaningful impacts in the lives of the people of the community. And one of the ways through which this can be done is to carry out projects which directly affect positively the lives of the people and their families. This is one of the ways through which the electorates can enjoy the dividends of democracy.

On the maintenance of public utilities, Dr. Mojeed Alabi Balogun clamoured for proper and healthy use of each and every utility which the government is providing for the grassroots. In his words, “It is not enough to have beautiful projects delivered to people of the community, another thing that is highly imperative is the maintenance of these projects. As public administrators, we fulfill our own part by providing basic infrastructures such as these, and these are evident in the newly constructed road projects in the aforementioned areas. However, we want members of the public to fulfill their own part too by adequately maintaining these basic amenities for continuous use for all” the Council Chairman said.

Dr. Mojeed assured the people of Ikeja community that more community-based projects will be provided for the people as he encouraged everyone to be in support of good governance which the All Progressives Congress is currently doing in the present political dispensation at the Local, State and Federal Levels.
