The Executive Chairman, Ikorodu Local Government, Hon. Wasiu Adesina has won the Most Outstanding Oodua Local Government Council Chairman Award of the year 2022.
Adesina who had earlier attained Icon of Local Government administration status is largely deemed the best council boss in recent times among the 57 council chairmen; 20 local government and 37 local council development areas, LCDAs, in Lagos state founded on his extraordinary feat since returning to the office.
Conferred with an Integrity Award by the Centre For Ethics And Self-Value Orientation of Nigeria in march of this year, Adesina yet again received delegates from the Yoruba Heritage Leadership Award Platform at his council secretariat on the 4th of November 2022.
Led by Veteran Nollywood actor, Chief Peter Fatomilola, who appraised the council Chairman of Ikorodu as a development catalyst, instrumental in the consistent growth of the waterbed region, now considered the 12th largest city in Africa and 3rd largest in Nigeria.
According to Chief Fatomilola in a post-award presentation interview with Ikorodu News Network (INN), he noted that most times when a leader is preoccupied with discharging his duties for the betterment of the community, he pays less attention to onlookers.
Asserting that the achievement of Adesina is visible for all to see, Chief Fatomilola pointed out that the recognition is meant to acknowledge the chairman for his efforts and also to encourage him to do more for the good people of Ikorodu local government.
“If he was not performing well, we would have also told him so because we’re unbiased in check-mating our leaders”.
“We’re recognising him today so he should keep doing good” Chief Fatomilola added
Ayodele Asiwaju Temidayo, Coordinator of the Yoruba heritage leadership award platform, explained further in complimenting chief Fatomilola’s acumen of the council boss.
He proceeded, “Hon. Wasiu Adesina is a chairman who functions with the interest of his people at heart. We’ve been to this council two months before today and without a doubt, we’ve been able to access his activities and undertakings, which made him a competent recipient of this prestigious award”.
“We’ve also caught a glimpse of him as a gentleman and a great leader, always ready to live up to every expectation and for that reason, we’re very proud of him”.
Asiwaju Temidayo recounted that the award presented to Hon. Wasiu Adesina was similarly presented to Hon. Kolade Alabi before he became chairman of the Association of Local Governments Of Nigeria (ALGON).
“It is an indication of bigger victories appearing ahead for Adesina, which he has to prepare for. We believe in his capacity and wish him better things going forward” He asserted
The council boss, in a state of amusement and enthusiasm, thanked the forum for recognising his administration towards the advancement of Ikorodu local government.
In his words, “This award is simply an encouragement for me to do more in heightening the standard of the good people in Ikorodu and I’ll continue to fulfil all our promises”.
“I thank God, I thank my family and I thank all my council executive and legislative arms for their continuous exertions to attain our set goals and objectives”.
