Gov Abiodun gifts SUVs to 20 LG chairmen

Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has presented Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) to all 20 local government chairmen in the state, a move aimed at boosting efficiency and facilitating smoother governance at the grassroots level.

Speaking during the presentation, Governor Abiodun said the gesture fulfills his earlier pledge to provide local government leaders with the necessary tools to enhance service delivery and development within their communities.

Speaking through the Ogun State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Ganiyu Hamzat, during the distribution held in Abeokuta, the governor commended the local government chairmen for their efforts in delivering dividends of democracy at the grassroots.

Governor Abiodun reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to working closely with them to improve the welfare and quality of life of Ogun State citizens.

Responding on behalf of the chairmen in the 20 LGAs, the Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Ogun State chapter, Afolasade Adeyemo, described the gesture as a welcome development.

Adeyemo expressed profound appreciation to the governor for fulfilling his pledge.

The Ogun ALGON boss, who also doubles as the Chairman of Odeda Local Government Area, lauded Governor Abiodun’s achievements across key sectors, including education, housing, healthcare, and road infrastructure.

She noted that the governor’s ISEYA mantra has elevated Ogun State to an enviable position and assured that the local government chairmen would continue to work with the state government to make Ogun State the pride of its indigenes, residents, and Nigerians at large.

“The vehicles would enhance our capacity to reach rural communities and effectively address the aspirations and needs of the people at the grassroots,” the ALGCON boss said during the event.
