The Executive Chairman of Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area, Prince Lanre Sanusi, has assured residents and stakeholders in the council area of an inclusive and transparent governance.
Sanusi and 56 others were sworn in on Sunday by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-olu at an elaborate ceremony held in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
Speaking at the inauguration party held at the council Secretariat, the council chairman also pledged to collaborate with state and federal authorities while also productively engaging partners, the private sector, NGOs, and the diaspora to invest in our local government.
He said, “I am not here to rule. I am here to serve. Every ward will be carried along. Every voice will be heard. Every budget will be transparent. We will lead with accountability and integrity.
I do not promise magic. But I promise movement. I promise dedication. I promise visibility. I promise to be a Chairman who walks the streets, hears the people, and acts in their best interest.
I call on everyone political opponents, critics, elders, youths, civil society — this is not a time to divide. This is the time to build together. Let us unite, because Amuwo Odofin is bigger than any one person.
Today is not the celebration of one man’s victory. It is the celebration of our collective dream a dream for a safer, cleaner, more prosperous Amuwo Odofin; a dream where governance listens, where leadership serves, and where every child, every woman,every man, every youth, and every elder can thrive.”
He reiterated his commitment to the development of the district while hinting on his administration’s area of focus.
He added, “A clean environment is a healthy environment. From waste management to drainage improvement, we will restore cleanliness, dignity, and order to our communities.
No local government can grow without strong infrastructure. We will prioritize road rehabilitation, street lighting, and public utilities that make life easier for our residents.
Our youth are not just the future; they are the now. We will invest in skills acquisition, digital training, entrepreneurship, and educational support that open real doors to opportunity.
We will improve access to quality healthcare, maternal services, and care for the elderly and the vulnerable. Health is wealth, and we must protect the well-being of our people.”
The immediate past chairman of the district, Hon Buraimoh Valentine appealed to residents to support the Sanusi-led administration for a greater Amuwo Odofin.
He said, “We thank God for standing by us. I appreciate us for having a brand new government. I can assure you they will perform better and better. I urge you to give the incoming administration your support and loyalty to take Amuwo Odofin to the next level.”
