The Chairman of Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Aare Taoheed Adebayo Taiwo (T.A.T), has applauded the commitment and proactive leadership of the Sixth Legislative Council during the Widows’ Empowerment and Community Support Outreach held at the Council Secretariat.

Delivering his goodwill message at the event, Aare T.A.T commended the seamless synergy between the Executive and Legislative Arms of the council.

He noted that since the assumption of office, both arms have worked in harmony, guided by mutual respect, a shared vision, and open communication. According to him, this collaboration has strengthened policy formulation, accelerated development, enhanced accountability, and ultimately improved service delivery to the good people of Ejigbo.

The council boss further emphasised the significance of the outreach initiative, describing it as a people-centered intervention that aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He stated that the councillors had remained attentive to the yearnings of their constituents across the six political wards in Ejigbo and had responded by bringing meaningful relief and support to those in need.

Leader of the Sixth Legislative Council, Gabriel Shobande, expressed appreciation to the Chairman for consistently fostering cordiality and cooperation between the Executive and Legislative Arms, noting that the healthy working relationship had continued to yield positive results for the community.

Addressing stakeholders, APC party faithful, and beneficiaries at the programme, Shobande announced that he, alongside other councillors, would be disbursing a N50,000 cash grant to 50 widowers, facilitating free enrollment for 300 vulnerable residents into the Ilera Eko Health Insurance Scheme, and distributing food packages to 200 households.

“It is noteworthy that this initiative complements the earlier comprehensive livelihood support programme launched by Aare T.A.T, which was designed to enhance the socio-economic wellbeing of residents across Ejigbo LCDA. The programme provided financial assistance, tools, and essential materials to widows, vulnerable individuals, and small business owners, further emphasizing the administration’s commitment to inclusive growth and sustainable community development,” he said.
