Legislators thumbs-up Isolo LGA boss for fast-racking inner roads construction

…Assures to be partners in progress 

By Ezurike Ugochukwu 

Less than one month of inauguration, the story seems to be changing so fast. Hon Adebayo Olasoju, the council chairman of Isolo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), braces up to match campaign promises with action in the area of roads construction. Commendation from councillors in the area has therefore shown.

The seven councillors of the LCDA have joyfully commended the chairman for a good beginning going by the gradual and sustained roads maintenance progressing in the area.

The councillors stated this while carrying out their oversight functions on roads and infrastructural rehabilitation projects ongoing in Alagbeji Ward in particular on resumption after their three-week recess.

The men of the legislative arm of the council while also at Mureni and Aderinto streets described the level and quality of works as marvellous.

Speaking on behalf of the councilors, the Council Leader, Hon. Akeem Adeyemi who reaffirmed the earlier position of the council bosss, that upon completion of the road projects and others as: Kogberegbe, Lamina Lawal, Ehingbeti and Shonibare, roads, travel time will be reduced on the route which stretches through Akinbaye and Alagbeji wards thereby reducing the pressure on Mushin/Isolo Road.

Adeyemi stated : “We’ve come to perform our oversight function as expected and we can say that these projects are marvellous, what’s left on both roads; Mureni and Aderinto are just asphalting and that’s quite impressive. The drainages have been improved on and that tells more about the quality of the job because if the drainages are left unfixed the surface of the road will suffer degradation sooner than ever anticipated when flood begins to spill onto it.

“As you can see, the host councillor, Hon. Olanrewaju Kayode and every one of us is impressed with what we’ve observed.

“The house will soon pass our votes of confidence on the executive chairman because it is clear to all that he’s putting earnest effort towards delivering on his numerous campaign promises especially the ones about his first 100 days.

“We’ve pledged also to be cooperative and be part of the progress. Wherever the chairman thinks the legislative arm could be of help, we shall not hesitate to throw our weight behind him. We have vowed not to be a spanner in the wheel of the council’s progress and that will remain our watchword.

Coincidentally, the councillors were joined in the inspection exercise by the chairman of Alagbeji CDA Alhaji Yemi Sogunle and other community stakeholders.

It will be recalled that on the first day of his ward-to-ward campaign in July at Akinbaye ward, Hon Olasoju while speaking to nation Update at the palace of Osolo of Isolo assured that with the help of God, greater Isolo is on the way.

He stated ” After 365 days, peoplewill see that we have the magic wand to make Isolo great.”
