The Chairman of Odiolowo-Ojuwoye LCDA, Hon Rasaq Ajala, (HRA) extends appreciation to the residents for their support and advocates for backing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwoolu.
Hon Ajala expressed, “As we welcome the New Year, it is a fitting moment to acknowledge the positive aspects of the past year and anticipate the accomplishments yet to unfold in the next 365 days.
“We’ve encountered both beautiful moments and challenges in the past year, and these experiences wouldn’t have been the same without the special people in our lives.
“A New Year is akin to a blank book, with the pen in our hands. It presents an opportunity to script a beautiful narrative for ourselves as a community.
“It’s time to embark on this journey with renewed hopes, desires, expectations, and a commitment to fulfillment.
“Without a doubt, we have exerted our utmost efforts to positively impact the lives of our constituents over the last 365 days.
“Our government has diligently worked towards making life more meaningful through various interventions across all sectors.
“We’ve achieved remarkable milestones in road construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance.
“The education and health sectors in our LCDA stand as benchmarks for other municipalities in our state and beyond.
“Our diverse programs have garnered acclaim both within and beyond our LCDA.
“We’ve significantly touched the lives of our people with the resources at our disposal.
“Without delving into an exhaustive list of our numerous projects and programs, it’s essential to highlight some impactful initiatives from the end of last year.
“We reached out to over 2000 families, providing them with food items, chickens, and clothes.
“A sum of 100 million Naira was disbursed in loans to upgrade SMEs, and grants were offered to support petty traders.
“Other programmes included the sale of subsidized chickens, a free health programme with surgeries for cataract and glaucoma patients, testing, and treatment for various ailments.
“We conducted an intensive ICT programme, organized quiz and debate competitions among pupils and students in public schools, awarded bursaries to indigent students in tertiary institutions, facilitated skill acquisition programmes, and organized a sports fiesta, among others.
“We made unprecedented courtesy visits to the Area D Command of the Nigerian Police and the three police formations in our LCDA—Olosan, Alakara, and Ilupeju Police Stations. Our men were given tokens to enhance their yuletide season.
“Both teaching and non-teaching staff in all our public schools received yuletide gifts.
“Undoubtedly, last year was filled with sweet memories and joyful times.
“My team in the LCDA has made my year exceptionally remarkable, and I hope this continues throughout our tenure.
“I want to convey my gratitude to everyone who contributed to making last year eventful.
“I particularly want to thank our security personnel for their proactive efforts in maintaining law and order in our community.
“I urge the community to support the governments of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Sanwoolu for a better life for us all.
“Our President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has initiated reforms in every sector of our nation, while our amiable governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwoolu, has implemented impactful programs for the people of our dear state.
“I implore all of us to support all levels of government in our nation to collectively realize the country of our dreams.
“On the road to success, the rule is always to look ahead.
“I believe that, with the cooperation of the people in Odiolowo-Ojuwoye LCDA, we shall reach our destination,” he concluded.
“Happy New Year to you all, and may God bless you.”
