The Chairman of Iba Local Council Development Association (LCDA), Yisa Jubril, has urged the councillors to prioritise people-oriented service over personal interests.
This, the council boss, said will lead to a lasting legacy within the council.
He made this call at the inauguration of the sixth Legislative Council of Iba LCDA.
He called for a quality representative.
“Ensure you put the interest of the wards you are representing over personal interests. The interests of the communities must take precedence over personal interests as you were elected to serve the people not your pockets,” he said.

“I am open to collaboration and my doors are always open. I can’t be everywhere, whenever you encounter any issue that needs my urgent attention, feel free to reach out to me. We must work together and ensure we succeed for the benefits of our people”, he said.
