OJOKORO COUNCIL CHAIRMAN, ROSIJI ASSURES RESIDENTS OF MASSIVE ROAD REHABILITATION AFTER RAINY SEASON

The Executive Chairman of Ojokoro Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. (Barr.) Oluyemisi Adenike Rosiji, has assured residents of comprehensive road rehabilitation across the council area once the rainy season subsides.

Rosiji gave the assurance on Tuesday, September 10, 2025, at the monthly meeting of the Community Development Committee (CDC), held at the CDC Secretariat.

She explained that road grading during the rainy season would not yield sustainable results due to the adverse impact of heavy downpours. However, she promised that several roads across Ojokoro would be graded immediately after the rains.

The council boss also highlighted the council’s ongoing investments in education and empowerment. She revealed that Ojokoro LCDA currently runs 11 Adult Literacy Centres, all offering free services, and encouraged residents to take advantage of the opportunity to become literate.

Rosiji further urged youths, teenagers, and adults to enroll in the LCDA’s vocational and ICT centres, noting that skill acquisition and digital knowledge remain critical in today’s fast-evolving world.

“These are some of the ways our administration is empowering residents and improving lives across the LCDA,” she said.

Earlier in his remarks, the CDC Chairman, Barr. Samuel Alabi, commended the Council Chairman for her active participation in the meeting alongside councillors and senior council officials. He, however, called for improved communication between the council and community leaders to ensure prompt dissemination of information about government activities and programmes.

Alabi expressed confidence in the present administration’s capacity to deliver, especially in the area of road rehabilitation, which he described as a pressing need in the community.

In Hon. Rosiji’s entourage to the meeting were the Vice Chairman, Hon. Tunde Oyekunle; Deputy Leader of the Legislative Arm, Hon. Adeyemi Babasola; Chief Whip, Hon. Jolaosho Segun; Deputy Chief Whip, Hon. Taiwo Taofeek; Council Manager, Mrs. Akinola Mojisola; Admin and Human Resource Officer, Mrs Akran-Layode Elizabeth; HOD of Education, Mr. Quadri Tajudeen; Public Affairs Officer, Mr. Odegbami Olawunmi; and HOD of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mrs.Akintunde.

The CDC meeting, a monthly gathering of Community Development Association (CDA) executives, serves as a platform for discussing developmental issues and for government agencies, NGOs, and other bodies to share vital information with community stakeholders.
