This speaks volume of the good aims and agenda of the APC for all citizens of Nigeria. I also learnt 6 other roads are also ready for commissioning. In addition, about 10 transformers are procured to alleviate the electricity supply problem and also series of empowerment done for widow, women, men and the youths.

What struck me most was Dr. Agbaje's emotional stability, his steady hand guiding these massive wins in just 100 days: 7 roads transforming mobility, 10 transformers lighting up homes, and empowerment programs lifting widows, women, men, and youth from struggle to self-reliance.

"No chaos, just calm resolve turning promises into progress. It's the same grit that fuels academic excellence: staying grounded amid pressure to deliver real results. I'm inspired and committed, more commissionings ahead, brighter futures for Ayobo-Ipaja!

To mark this milestone, the LCDA commissioned the rehabilitated 2nd Avenue Road, now proudly renamed Adunni Akindele Way (formerly Boys’ Town Road), a rehabilitated block of six classrooms at Abesan Primary School, and the fully restored Opeki Primary Health Centre. In a bold move to bolster security and essential services, official vehicles were presented to the Nigerian Police Force, the Mosan-Okunola Environmental Team, and the Mosan-Okunola Security Team, alongside a life-saving ambulance for the LCDA health facility".

Implicit that all the commissioned works were rehabilitated projects, he nevertheless described them as "lifeline" worthy of emulation as a wake up call to other Council chairmen in showing tangible results going forward.

Thank you for consolidating the Renewed Hope agenda of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ensuring that its benefits flow directly to the grassroots in Mosan-Okunola.

Raise the bar for governance, and together, we will elevate the standard of living for every Nigerian. Mosan-Okunola has shown the way—now, it is time for others to follow and surpass".

He commended the Council Chairman for the good start and reminded the people of Mosan/Okunola LCDS to realise that they did "not lose their votes" by voting APC.
