CHAIRMAN AKOD UNVEILS 10 NEW VEHICLES FOR IKEJA LG MANAGEMENT
The Executive Chairman of Ikeja Local Government, Comrade Akeem Olalekan Dauda (AKOD), has presented 10 brand-new official vehicles to members of the council’s management team in a move aimed at strengthening service delivery and improving operational efficiency.
The fleet comprises six Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) for Heads of Departments, three Toyota Sienna buses designated for the Revenue Department, and a fully equipped Hi-Level Ambulance to enhance healthcare response within the council area.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, the Chief of Staff to James Abiodun Faleke, represented by Dr. Bayo ‘Ayo, commended the council chairman for prioritising staff welfare and institutional capacity at the grassroots level. He noted that functional mobility remains critical to achieving effective governance and improved public service outcomes.
In his address, Chairman Dauda expressed appreciation to the management staff for their support and dedication since the inception of his administration, describing the vehicle distribution as “just the tip of the iceberg.” He urged officers, particularly in the Revenue Department, to translate the gesture into enhanced productivity and improved internally generated revenue.
The chairman also disclosed that official vehicles would soon be provided to members of the Legislative Arm to strengthen their oversight responsibilities and operational mobility.
The Vice Chairman of Ikeja Local Government, Hon. Abisola Omisore, attended the ceremony, alongside senior council officials. Delivering a vote of thanks on behalf of the staff, the Head of Human Resources and Administration, Comrade Jubril Aliu, expressed gratitude to the chairman, stating that the initiative would boost morale and reinforce commitment to duty.
The development aligns with the administration’s I.K.E.J.A Agenda, particularly its focus on institutional strengthening and workforce empowerment as pillars for sustainable grassroots governance.
