The Lagos State Deputy Governor, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire has challenged the chairmen of local governments and local council development areas to ensure that they perform to the expectation of the people who voted them into office.

This is by ensuring that the dividends of democracy is evenly distributed amongst all the people.

The Deputy Governor who dropped the charge while commissioning the newly built secretariat of the Oto-Awori Local Council Development Area in Ijanikin area of Lagos, said it is only when the third-tier of government, which is the closest to the people, live up to its responsibilities like other arms of the government that the people will feel the impact of the government.

Adefulire while praising the effort of the Chairman for the new office complex, she said it is testimony of the commitment of the council officials led by the chairman, to the well-being of its workforce and citizens of the LCDA.

“The commissioning of this ultra-modern office complex is another remarkable achievement. That the people of this community, particularly the staff will be proud of working in a good and conducive environment is an avenue to motivate the workers and bring out the best in them,” Adefulire added.
