Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has approved the appointment of Oladipupo Oluwaloni as the Acting Chairman of Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area, LCDA.
His appointment follows the prolonged absence of the substantive chairman, Bolatito Shobowale, who has been away from office for over six months on medical grounds.
In an official letter issued by the Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs, and Rural Development, Bolaji Kayode Roberts, the governor directed Oluwaloni to assume office immediately to ensure the smooth running of the council’s affairs.
The leadership transition was facilitated by the intervention of the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, under the leadership of its chairman, Cornelius Ojelabi so as to maintain administrative stability and effective governance at the grassroots level.
Reacting to his appointment, Oluwaloni expressed deep appreciation to governor Sanwo-Olu and the party leadership for their trust and support. He pledged to serve diligently, prioritizing the welfare of Ayobo-Ipaja residents and ensuring continuity in governance.
“This is a great responsibility, and I am fully committed to upholding the trust placed in me. My focus will be on ensuring that governance at the grassroots remains effective, responsive, and aligned with the developmental agenda of our great state,” Oluwaloni said.
Residents and stakeholders have welcomed the development, expressing confidence that the new leadership will bring stability and progress to the LCDA.
With his immediate assumption of office, all eyes will be on the acting chairman as he takes on the task of steering Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA toward enhanced service delivery and community development.
