Chairman of the council, Honourable Princess Rasheedat Abiodun Adu, gave this commendation when she received in her office a team of Concerned Human Rights group in continuation of the group’s assessment tour of Lagos State Government projects across the 57 local councils and LCDAs.

The council boss, while describing the bay as comparable to any of its kind in the world, also commended Governor Ambode for his good works as reflected in the infrastructural renewal of the state which she said had been appreciated by those who live in Lagos  and people outside Lagos and had earned the governor accolades from within and afar.
