MISSION STATEMENT

“Given its enviable pedigree as the main seat of power in the entire state of Lagos as well as a dynamic haven for various commercial and administrative activities, Ikeja Local Government deserves a more effective, responsive, reliable and transparent leadership.

Having carefully observed the pervading gap between people-driven and developmental governance at the grassroots in Nigeria, and bearing on my passion to serve and envolve as an articulate voice to the yearnings and aspirations of our people, I have chosen to humbly and earnestly offer myself for more effective grassroot governance in Ikeja Local Government for all Ikeja people.”
