The Executive Chairman of Ikosi-Ejinrin Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Dr. Akogun Wale Anomo, has presented a mini bus to the council’s Revenue Department as part of his administration’s commitment to strengthening institutional capacity, improving operational efficiency, and boosting internally generated revenue.
Epe Insights reports that the official presentation of the vehicle underscores the administration’s determination to equip critical departments with the tools required to deliver efficient public service and support sustainable development across Ikosi-Ejinrin LCDA.
The new mini bus is expected to improve the mobility of revenue officers, enabling them to carry out field assignments more effectively and enhance revenue collection activities within the council area.
According to Dr. Anomo, strengthening the Revenue Department is essential to improving the council’s financial capacity and ensuring the successful implementation of development projects that directly benefit residents.
He explained that the provision of operational vehicles forms part of his administration’s broader strategy to modernise local government operations and promote greater efficiency across departments.
The Executive Chairman noted that a well-equipped workforce is better positioned to deliver quality services, improve productivity, and respond promptly to the needs of the people.
He expressed confidence that the vehicle would enhance field operations by making it easier for revenue officers to reach various parts of the LCDA while carrying out official responsibilities.
Dr. Anomo also stated that improved mobility would contribute to more effective revenue mobilisation and strengthen the council’s internally generated revenue.
According to him, increased internally generated revenue will provide additional resources for infrastructure development, social services, education, healthcare, environmental projects, and other people-oriented programmes.

The Executive Chairman further assured members of staff that his administration would continue to prioritise staff welfare and provide an enabling environment that motivates employees to perform effectively.
He explained that investment in human resources remains just as important as investment in physical infrastructure.
Council officials welcomed the presentation of the vehicle, describing it as a timely intervention that will significantly improve the daily operations of the Revenue Department.
They expressed appreciation to the chairman for recognising the challenges associated with field operations and responding with practical solutions.
Staff members also pledged to make effective use of the vehicle while maintaining high standards of professionalism and accountability in the discharge of their duties.
Community stakeholders commended the initiative, noting that stronger institutional capacity often translates into improved governance and better public service delivery.
They observed that efficient revenue collection enables local governments to finance developmental projects capable of improving the quality of life for residents.

Dr. Anomo reiterated that his administration will continue to implement policies and initiatives that strengthen government institutions, empower the workforce, and create opportunities for sustainable growth.
He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting every department of the council with the resources needed to perform efficiently while ensuring that public funds are managed responsibly.
The presentation of the mini bus marks another milestone in the administration’s drive to modernise governance, strengthen revenue mobilisation, and improve operational effectiveness.
