Ogunlewe, who spoke during the celebration of his 100 days in office at the council Secretariat, on Thursday said that prioritising the welfare of the people was important for any government’s success.
According to him, his government was able to purchase four revenue buses for area offices within the local council.
The chairman said that his administration purchased aluta jet bus for the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) to aid their services.
“We purchased Ambulance for efficient service for all Health Centres in Kosode Local Government.
“We purchased new legislators’ bus for the smooth running of administrative work and we have newly purchased dispatch motorcycles for service deliveries,” he said.
The council boss in his remarks also reeled out other construction projects, drainage systems and about 20 road projects in areas such as Abioye Street, Mende, Awanatu Street, Araromi Street, Adebayo Mokuolu Street among others.
He thanked members of the party for their support over the years and promised to continue giving the people dividends of democracy all through his four-year tenure.
“We are also constructing customary court and administrative office, we are renovating and upgrading office of the Executive Chairman and some offices within the local government headquarters.
“We are constructing a health centre in Oworo and we have distributed 150 GCE forms,” he said.
Mrs Yetunde Arobieke, the Lagos Commissioner for Employment and Wealth Creation, also commended Ogunlewe, who she said was a good representative of the youths.
The commissioner said that the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu gave the people good products, enjoined the residents to support the chairman in his endeavours.
