The Chairman of Onigbongbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA) in Lagos, Moyosore Adebanjo, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to women’s leadership, stating that the recently inaugurated Executive Council includes 35 per cent female representation.
Adebanjo noted that sustainable economic growth cannot be achieved by government alone, emphasising the need for collaboration between the public and private sectors. He therefore called for stronger partnerships with the business community to support development initiatives within the council area.
The chairman spoke at the maiden edition of the Chairman’s Business Exchange, themed “Give to Gain,” which brought together business leaders, policymakers and representatives of the organised private sector to strengthen collaboration for economic growth and community development.
The event was held at The Grandeur Event Centre and also formed part of activities marking the celebration of International Women’s Day 2026.
Dignitaries at the event included the Special Adviser to the Governor on Sustainable Development Goals, Oreoluwa Finnih-Awokoya; the Special Adviser to the Governor on Taxation and Revenue, Abdul-Kabir Opeyemi Ogungbo; and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Climate Change and Circular Economy, alongside representatives of the business community.
The Chairman said: “Strong economies are not built by government alone. They are built through partnership. When government and enterprise work together, development moves faster and prosperity becomes shared.”
He also announced the establishment of a Public–Private Partnership Desk within the Office of the Chairman to facilitate collaboration between businesses and the LCDA.
