By Olushola Okewole
The Supervisor for Environment, Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Mr. Femi Ibine has said that the gutter evacuation exercise going on across the community would continue until the rainy season ends.
In a bid to solve the flooding issues in the Ejigbo major roads, the Ejigbo local council authority has embarked on desilting of the blocked gutters on the affected areas to free up the environment from flood.
The Supervisor for Environment, told ECHONEWS that the gutter evacuation exercise was to ensure the major roads affected with flood were free for the users and to ease the stress people plying the roads go through daily.
He explained that the evacuation which has begun right from NNPC junction area would extend to Iyana-Ejigbo junction and other areas where flood was affecting people.
“We plan to move to all those areas being affected to ensure that the gutters are free for free flow of water when it rains and to channel the flood out of the roads because the flood has been damaging the roads so we need to control it.”
Bamigbetan urges Ejigbo residents to support Obe for second term
The immediate past Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Lagos State, Hon. Kehinde Bamigbetan, has endorsed the incumbent Chairman of Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. Monsurudeen Bello (obe), for second term.
Bamigbetan, a two-term chairman of Ejigbo LCDA made the call while accepting the award presented to him by the Ejigbo LCDA branch of the National Union of Local GovernmentEmployees.,
He urged other residents of the council area to support Obe by re-electing him, asking them to be rest assured of enjoying more dividendsbof democracy.
He said: “I had no doubt that Alh. Monsurudeen Oloyede Bello (Obe) would perform excellently well in the area of infrastructures, Staff Welfare and development of the Local Council generally.
“When we supported him the first time, some people had doubts as they were not sure if he would deliver. Now it is clear to all and sundry, even the blind can see that Obe is the right man for the job. So, it is on this note that I want to appreciate what he has done and recommend him for re-election when the time comes.
“Look at what the local council is today. As at when Obe took over, this Council Secretariat was a different environment entirely but today, he has changed the face of the Secretariat. He is constructing a public primary school at Ilamoshe, he has rehabilitated many roads, supported the needy and promoted peace within the local council.
“Just recently, the Council boss awarded the construction of Kashimawo Alimi road with the promise that the road will be delivered before the end of this year. If he can do that, then I think he deserves to be commended and re-elected”.
Obe was the Vice Chairman and Supervisor for Works during Bamgbetan’s administration as council chairman.
During that time, the administration had identified the local council as a lucrative ground for private primary schools, due to the shortage of public primary schools.
Hence, the administration decided to construct four new public primary schools which include Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Primary School, Dauda Ilo and Dele Alake Primary School, Ailegun.
