“In achieving this, many rigours processes have been passed through towards making Oshodi work for all through functional laws enacted at the grassroots. “In fulfilling this core mandate in tandem with the ethos of participatory democracy is the reason why the residents of Oshodi-Isolo Local Government are invited to the public hearing on some of the bills to seek their opinions before the bills are passed into law.
