Mr Segun Odunmbaku, the Chairman, Ojodu Local Council Development Area (LCDA), says 14 mini-buses have been released to ease movevent for residents in the LCDA.
Odunmbaku said this in a statement on his two years in office on Saturday in Lagos.
He said the release of the mini-buses was part of the palliative measures by his administration, to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal on the people of Ojodu and environs.
Odunmbaku said to cushion the impact of the current economic hardship, plans were also underway to provide free shuttle buses for students and pupils when school resumed in September.
The chairman assured residents of the area that his administration was committed to improving their standards of living.
He said in the last two years, the LCDA under his leadership, had carried out development projects cutting across sectors such as health, education, environment, youths empowerment and social infrastructure, including road rehabilitation.
According to him, seven roads in the council area have been given face-lift, while over 2,000 youths have been empowered with skills, as part of efforts to reduce unemployment.
”With the level of deficit infrastructure that we met, it was necessary for us to have a vision and narrow down our needs into these four acronyms.
”I have been privileged to be the secretary in Ikeja Local Government and Ojodu LCDA, before taking up the mantle of the chairmanship.
“So, I gained one or two experiences and was prepared for the office that, if given the mandate, I would want to do things differently.(NAN)
