Commendations have continued to pour in for the Executive Chairman of Imota Local Council Development Area, Hon. Benson Sunday Ayodele, following the extension of the council’s road grading exercise to several other communities, including Oke-Sabo, Agudungbun, and other parts of the LCDA.
The ongoing grading exercise, aimed at opening up previously inaccessible earth roads and making them motorable, has brought visible relief to residents while boosting socio-economic activities across the benefiting communities.
In Agudungbun Community, roads graded include Iradelu Street, Iradelu – Mile 12 Road, Ajenifuja Street, Kembiz Iradelu Street, Ifelodun Street, Iradelu-Mile 12 Road, Bombata-Eleyo Iradelu Link Road, Iraselu Link Road, Oshilaru Street, and Iradelu Phase one and two. Other areas that are expected to be graded were Arowosola Street, Eleyo-Kowope Road, Orefotu Street, and Oloruntedo Way.
Similarly, in the Oke-Sabo area, the grading covered Idegun Street, Refunwe Street, Makuri Street, Alasela Street, among others. Additional areas benefiting from the project include Koleowo Street, Sokoya Street, Ayangade Street, Luda Street, Agbala Street, Anibaba Street, and several adjoining areas.
Residents of the affected communities have, in their individual capacities, commended the Benson-led administration for what they described as timely and people-oriented infrastructural intervention.
Speaking on the development, the Chairman of the Community Development Committee (CDC) in Imota LCDA, Comrade Odumosu Rafiu Abiodun Ashaka, who has been monitoring the grading exercise in Agudungbun Community, eulogized Hon. Benson for his administration’s commitment to improving major internal roads across the LCDA.
Comrade Ashaka noted that the achievements recorded by the administration within just five months in office have significantly transformed various sectors of the local council.
“I have gone around different communities across Imota LCDA, and seen the level of work the council is doing in health, education, and community development. It is unprecedented. This is not about politics or propaganda; the truth must be told. There is a remarkable improvement in governance and community development initiatives since the present administration assumed office,” he said.
He further described Hon. Benson’s approach to governance as deliberate and impactful.
“Everything the Council Chairman has done has been very intentional. Whether in road infrastructure, health, youth empowerment, or education. Without mincing words, he has earned the love and admiration of the people across Imota LCDA,” he added.
Reiterating his position, the CDC Chairman described the infrastructural drive of the BSA-led administration as unprecedented, applauding the council’s strides in road infrastructure, education, health, and community development.
Also speaking, the Councillor representing Ward A, and Majority Leader of Imota LCDA, Councilor Jelili Busayo, disclosed that the road grading exercise is just one of several community development initiatives being implemented by the BSA-BOJ administration.
According to him, the pace of development under the present administration is encouraging, adding that the ongoing road grading works would stimulate economic growth, enhance accessibility, and open up corridors for real estate development and hospitality investments.
He noted that the grading project currently ongoing in different parts of Atere Ward A stands as a testament to the commitment and good work of the local government chairman.
