He added that the fleet of revenue buses provided to revenue officers is expected to boost operational efficiency and improve revenue generation, thereby reinforcing the Local Economy component of the agenda.
The Chairman stated that the patrol van presented to the Divisional Police Officer of Ejigbo is aimed at strengthening the security architecture of the LCDA, ensuring rapid response and sustained safety, in line with the Security pillar of the S.H.I.E.E.L.D framework.
Also, the Environmental Services Department delivered a comprehensive sensitization lecture on the reintroduced Monthly Environmental Sanitation Exercise. The department emphasised the critical role of environmental sanitation in promoting public health and sustainable living, noting that the exercise scheduled for the last Saturday of every month is designed to tackle challenges such as indiscriminate waste disposal, blocked drainage systems, flooding, and disease outbreaks.
The Council Manager, Mr. Olusegun Ajagunna, presented essential tools to support the sanitation exercise. The items distributed included shovels, brooms, grass cutters, baskets, and a blower, among others.
Ajagunna announced that the Chairman has approved the recruitment of an additional 40 sweepers to complement the 60 earlier engaged upon his assumption of office, a strategic move to strengthen sanitation operations and ensure effective environmental maintenance across the LCDA.
