Lagos Council Chairman Dies After Prolonged Illness

A Lagos Council Chairman has died after a prolonged illness.

Epe Insights reports that Mrs. Bolatito Shobowale, the Chairman of Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area of Lagos State, is dead.

The death of the Lagos Council Chairman was disclosed in a tribute on Friday, March 21, 2025, by Ladi Oluwaloni, the acting chairman of Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA, who described her death as shocking and devastating.

The acting chairman of Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA emphasised that her legacy of selfless service, integrity, and commitment to good governance would continue to inspire future generations.

Oluwaloni extended his condolences to her family, friends, and loved ones.

“As we bid farewell to this remarkable leader, we take solace in the fact that her impact will live on in the hearts and lives of those she served.

“May the Almighty grant her eternal rest and give us the strength to uphold the values she stood for,” he added.

Before her death, the Lagos Council Chairman was widely regarded as a visionary leader who played a pivotal role in the growth and transformation of Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA.

During her tenure, she championed infrastructural development, improved healthcare, and community empowerment initiatives, laying a strong foundation that continues to benefit residents.

Shobowale was sworn in as acting chairman a few days ago by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu following the prolonged absence of the substantive chairman.

The Lagos Council Chairman revealed that he received the sad news while on an official assignment at the Lagos State Secretariat.

“Hon. Chief (Mrs.) Shobowale was more than a leader; she was a mother, a mentor, and a pillar of strength to many. Her passion for grassroots development, resilience in governance, and deep love for the people of Ayobo-Ipaja will never be forgotten,” he said
