Some Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas have virtually forgotten about projects as their Chairman go to sleep once salaries are paid.
Development has become so elusive and alien to the people in some of these council areas such that the quality of life has become so cheap.
The good people of Ifelodun LCDA are however lucky to be blessed with a calm, resourceful, humane, agile, dynamic and development driven Council Mayor, Hon. Ajidagba, the Atuluse and Atuluto of Ojora and Apapa Iganmu Kingdom.
In the last six years running, Ajifat, as Hon. Ajidagba is fondly called has redefined governance and changed the paradigm of infrastructural development in Ifelodun and Nigeria at large.
He is indeed, the unsung hero in elevating good governance to an enviable height. While putting smiles on the faces of the good people of Ifelodun, the Council Mayor has also changed the face of Ifelodun to catch up with other parts of the world. He has been piloting the affairs of the LCDA steadily and is surely achieving results, which are conspicuous even to his critics and opponents.
Through the conscious and concerted efforts of the man Ajifat, Ifelodun has firmly regained its place as the El Dorado of Nigeria. The people are happier than ever before as many laudable policies and projects have been initiated and executed to advance the cause of their standard of living.
This has largely been responsible for the peace and tranquility that has pervaded Ifelodun since Hon. Ajidagba first tenure in 2011. Of course, the man Ajifat landmark achievements in his first term convinced the people to promote him to a second term with a historic electoral victory, which saw him crushed his closest rival like a trailer climbing an ant.
Unlike others, who after securing a second term become complacent and indifference to the welfare of the people, the man Ajifat is even more active since his inauguration for the last term. His quest to imprint indelible legacies in the sands of history in Nigeria is clearly discernible from his actions and activities. Instead of tiring out, the workaholic Council Mayor is now moving at a supersonic speed.
Conscious of the fact that education is the light to the world, Hon. Ajidagba's earliest decisions immediately after inauguration for the second term was to renovate all public Primary and Secondary Schools in Ifelodun.
Since health is wealth, and people need to be healthy to go to school and embark on any human endeavour, the Council Mayor equally renovated and equipped all Primary Health Centers [PHC] in the community. For comprehensive basic health services for every eligible resident in the Ifelodun, the man Ajifat has erected an Europe like PHC, the first of its kind in Nigeria.
It is on record that the man Ajifat has never failed his people for once, he has renovated and built new roads and markets. The building of a world class Legislative Complex inside Ifelodun LCDA Council Secretariat is one of the towering achievements of the Council Mayor.
The unsung hero of infrastructure, has continued with his aggressive execution of legacy projects- projects that impact directly on the people.
Some of these projects include the novel Ajifat Goes To School, unprecedented Free Health Mission, adequate security of lives and property, top notch empowerment programmes and many others.
The man Ajifat truly an idea whose has come.
