2024 Budget: Orile Agege LCDA Chairman engages residents, promises better governance

The Executive Chairman of Orile Agege LCDA, Hon. Johnson Sunday Babatunde engaged with major several stakeholders across the six wards of the council area.

Sunday Babatunde engaged the Politicians, Professionals, Traditional rulers, the students, youths and market women over what they are expecting from Local Government in the proposed year.

During his welcome address, Hon Babatunde thanked various stakeholders for support and urge them to come out with meaningful propositions to be included in the lists of projects for 2024.

He said, ”As we all know, overtime, our administration has initiated lofty programmes and carried out laudable projects aimed at addressing the needs of our people economically, socially and politically. In addition and as we march on, this forum is basically to hear about your yearnings and have your input as stakeholders in the community into the year 2024 proposed budget. We are doing this to intimate ourselves with the needs of different wards within Orile Agege and I believe everyone here present will adequately contribute positively to the success and execution of the proposed year 2024 budget.

”Earlier this year in actualization of our previous budget we commissioned 3 major projects in a day and they have since been used judiciously by our people. These projects were Claudianna Ibijoke Sanwool Primary Healthcare Centre, Orile Agege Primary School and Taoofek Adaranijo Multipurpose Event Centre.”
