In a continued demonstration of his administration's commitment to grassroots development and responsive governance, the Executive Chairman of Ibeju-Lekki Local Government, Hon. (Engr.) Abdullahi Sesan Olowa, paid a working visit on 3rd February, 2026 to the Okegun-Baale community to interact directly with residents and leaders. During the cordial engagement, community members, including representatives from the Community Development Association (CDA), expressed appreciation for ongoing efforts while highlighting priority needs for essential infrastructure and amenities. Key requests included the provision of a transformer to improve electricity supply, enhanced drainage systems to address flooding concerns, solar panels for sustainable power alternatives, and other critical amenities to uplift living standards in the area. Hon. Olowa, while acknowledging the community's contributions and patience, highlighted significant past achievements under his leadership in the electrification sector. He specifically referenced the successful extension of power infrastructure from Ibeju Bridge to Madagbayun, a project that upon completion, will bring reliable electricity to numerous households and businesses, reducing the challenges of perpetual darkness in those areas. Reaffirming his administration's dedication to inclusive development, the Executive Chairman assured the CDA members and residents that a new transformer for Okegun-Baale would be delivered and installed within the next three months. This timely intervention, he noted, aligns with the Council's ongoing rural electrification drive and commitment to equitable distribution of dividends of democracy. ”You need a Local Government Chairman that will work day and night for the people to feel the impact”, he said. The community members expressed profound joy and gratitude for the Chairman's prompt response and tangible assurances. They commended Hon. Olowa's open-door policy, accessibility, and track record of delivering on promises, describing the visit as a clear sign of his genuine concern for their welfare. This engagement underscores Hon. Abdullahi Sesan Olowa's resolve to prioritize people-centered governance, bridging infrastructure gaps, and fostering stronger ties between the council and grassroots communities.
