The Executive Chairman of Igbogbo/Baiyeku Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Omo’ba Hammed Olalekan Aroyewun, has lauded the ongoing construction of Sen. Adeseye Ogunlewe Road in Igbogbo facilitated by Rep. Babajimi Benson, representative of Ikorodu Federal Constituency as a purposeful collaboration between the federal representative and the local council authorities.
Aroyewun, had on Thursday, joined the federal lawmaker, for an on-the-spot inspection of the strategic infrastructure project, the visit underscored the shared commitment of both public office holders to delivering sustainable development and improved living conditions for residents.
The road project, situated within the densely populated Apalura and Selewu communities, Igbogbo, and facilitated by Hon. Babajimi Benson, forms part of a broader effort to open up the axis, ease the daily burden of commuters, and unlock economic opportunities that have long been constrained by poor road infrastructure. For years, residents in the area contended with difficult terrain that hampered movement, discouraged commercial activity, and posed daily hardship, particularly during the rainy season.
During the inspection, Rep. Benson and Chairman Aroyewun, took stock of work already completed, engaged directly with contractors on site, and reviewed the project timeline to ensure continued adherence to quality and delivery standards.
Speaking on the significance of the project, the Executive Chairman, Omo’ba Hammed Olalekan Aroyewun, described it as another practical demonstration of what purposeful collaboration between the National Assembly and local council administration can achieve for ordinary citizens.
He noted that infrastructural development remains a central pillar of his administration’s GLORY Agenda, an acronym representing Good Governance, Learning, Optimal Wellness, Roads, and Youth and Sports, and commended the federal lawmaker for his efforts in attracting federal-level interventions to complement the council’s own developmental strides.
He noted that the project is a significant example of how the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, is transforming communities and delivering prosperity to the people. It also exemplifies how Rep. Babajimi Benson continues to champion the total quality developmental direction of the Renewed Hope vision strongly.
In his remarks, Rep. Benson reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that democracy dividends reach every corner of his constituency, noting that the Sen. Adeseye Ogunlewe Road is one among several ongoing and completed projects he has facilitated within IBLCDA.
He expressed confidence in the pace of construction and pledged continued oversight until completion.
As construction progresses, residents of the area are optimistic that the project will not only improve accessibility and ease transportation challenges but also stimulate economic activities, increase property values, and enhance overall socio-economic development within the community.
