Community Leaders have been advised to be more proactive and supportive towards programmes and policies of the Government.
This was the assertion of the Executive Chairman of Ojo Local Government, Hon. Rasulu Olusola Idowu during the year 2022 Annual Congress of the Lagos State Community Development Advisory Council, themed: “The role of Community Leaders during the 2023 General Elections” held at Multipurpose Hall, Ojo.
The Chairman applauded the vibrancy and antecedents of the Community Leaders on their pivotal roles to always mobilise the Communities towards result oriented government policies and programmes.
