The Chairman of Ikosi-Ejirin Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Wale Raji Anomo, has inaugurated newly appointed Supervisors and Special Advisers, charging them to work collaboratively toward the growth and development of the council area.
Epe Insights reports that the inauguration ceremony marked a significant step in strengthening the administrative structure of the council, as the new officials were tasked with supporting governance and improving service delivery for residents across Ikosi-Ejirin LCDA.
Speaking during the event, Anomo explained that the appointments followed extensive consultations with party leaders, community stakeholders, and other critical interest groups within the council area.
According to him, the selection process was designed to reflect the diversity of interests within the LCDA while ensuring that different communities and groups are adequately represented in the council’s leadership structure.
The chairman emphasised that the appointments were based on merit, experience, and commitment to public service, noting that the new officials are expected to contribute actively to the administration’s development agenda.
He urged the appointees to approach their responsibilities with diligence and dedication, stressing that teamwork and collaboration will be essential in achieving meaningful progress in the council.
Anomo also encouraged them to see their roles as a partnership with the council leadership in driving economic growth and improving infrastructure across Ikosi-Ejirin LCDA.
The chairman noted that residents should expect improved service delivery, particularly in key sectors such as healthcare and education, as the newly appointed supervisors will oversee various departments within the council administration.
He added that strengthening these critical sectors remains a top priority for the council, as they directly impact the quality of life of residents.
Also speaking at the ceremony, Olusegun Olulade, Executive Director of Customer Centricity and Marketing at Galaxy Backbone Limited and a former member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, advised the appointees to work together in unity.
Olulade urged them to support the chairman’s administration in delivering effective governance and ensuring that the council meets the expectations of residents.
He noted that the appointments reflected a balanced representation of different caucuses and interest groups within the party structure, adding that the development has further strengthened unity within Ikosi-Ejirin LCDA.
Olulade also encouraged residents to continue supporting the Federal Government under Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as well as the Lagos State Government and the leadership of the local council.
One of the newly appointed officials, Areh Abdulhameed, who previously served as Chief Press Secretary to the chairman and has now been appointed Supervisor for Budget, Planning, Information and Strategy, expressed appreciation for the opportunity to serve.
He thanked the chairman for finding him worthy of the appointment and pledged to bring innovation and dedication to his new role.
Abdulhameed assured residents that he would work diligently with other members of the council leadership to strengthen planning and improve governance outcomes.
Also speaking, Bashir Oluwakemi, Special Legislative Assistant to Hon. Wale Raji, Member of the House of Representatives, commended the chairman for ensuring inclusiveness in the appointment process.
He praised the effort to bring together different caucuses and interest groups within the council, noting that the move has helped foster unity and cooperation.
Oluwakemi, however, suggested that future appointments by the state government should be made more promptly to avoid prolonged waiting periods after the inauguration of council chairmen.
The event concluded with renewed commitment from the newly appointed officials to support the administration’s development agenda and contribute to improved governance across Ikosi-Ejirin LCDA.
