The handover ceremony, warmly received by residents, traditional rulers, and leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Igbogbo-Baiyeku, was a testament to Senator Abiru’s dedication to inclusive, developmental representation.
The commissioned projects, facilitated by the Senator and officially handed over through the council’s leadership under Bldr Sesan Daini, included:

Representing Senator Abiru at the event, Hon. (Mrs) Adebimpe Akinsola, former member of the Lagos State House of Assembly for Ikorodu Constituency II, affirmed that the projects reflect the Senator’s unwavering commitment to purposeful governance.
“These projects go beyond physical infrastructure—they restore dignity, enhance accessibility, and foster opportunity,” Akinsola quoted Senator Abiru as saying.
She urged the communities to take ownership of the facilities, emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance and sustainability to ensure their longevity and continued benefit to future generations.
The commissioning event witnessed the presence of notable dignitaries including the traditional ruler of Igbogbo Kingdom, HRM Oba (Barrister) Semiudeen Orimadegun Kasali, the Adeboruwa of Igbogbo, and top Ikorodu leaders such as Prince Abiodun Ogunleye, Asiwaju Olorunfunmi Basorun, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, and other stakeholders.
