In a landmark budget presentation at the Legislative Chamber, Hon. Wasiu Adesina, the chairman of Ikorodu Local Government, unveiled an extensive development roadmap, outlining transformative initiatives set to shape the region in the coming year.

Speaking to Ikorodu News Network (INN) on the 29th of December 2023 at the council, Chairman Adesina detailed key projects aimed at redefining the local landscape.

A standout proposal from the chairman is the creation of a central motor park, strategically designed to alleviate traffic congestion in Ikorodu’s garage and roundabout areas.

Operating under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), this visionary project is expected to significantly enhance transportation efficiency, providing a tangible solution to a persistent local challenge.

Underscoring a commitment to transparent governance, Chairman Adesina unveiled plans for a state-of-the-art legislative building.

This facility will allocate distinct spaces for councillors and the executive arm, fostering a clear separation of powers within the local government and optimizing administrative efficiency.

The chairman emphasized the administration’s dedication to community welfare, pledging to elevate empowerment programs targeting youth, the elderly, widows, and women.

The imminent commissioning of the ICT Center at Ita-Elewa promises to bolster local access to information and technology, empowering the community at large.

Infrastructure also took centre stage, with Chairman Adesina revealing plans for the development of inner roads, featuring dual-side construction and the integration of solar lighting.

A groundbreaking initiative to introduce Computer Units in all primary schools is set to commence in January, with Ijomu/Anglican Primary School leading the way in this educational transformation.

Chairman Adesina concluded the presentation with a compelling call to action, urging citizens to actively contribute to the local government’s financial stability.

Emphasizing the significance of rates and taxes, he encouraged a minimum contribution of N500 Naira for radio and television services, highlighting its potential to fund essential projects that will uplift the entire community.
