He commended the donor of the entrance gate project, Hon. Adedeji Adebowale, for his philanthropic gesture, noting that it will further enhance the security architecture in the community.

While commissioning the project, the Chairman of Ido Local Government, Hon. Sherif Adeojo, stated that the donor and the community had set a positive example by collaborating with the government. He emphasized that this partnership is vital, as the government alone cannot address all the needs of the people.

He praised the donor, describing him as a proactive individual who has demonstrated his capability to represent his people and consistently meets their demands.

Dignitaries at the event included the Chairman of the Oyo State Civil Service Commission, Alhaji Kamorudeen Aderibe, traditional rulers, community leaders, and representatives from security agencies, among others.
