It was an atmosphere of celebration yesterday at Amuwo-Odofin Local Government headquarters, as the newly sworn-in chairman, Prince Lanre Sanusi popularly known as PLS was ushered in as its new chairman.

Speaking at the event which had notable traditional rulers, party stalwarts and council staff members, all regally dressed, Sanusi promised a new beginning for the local government.

He appreciated the immediate past chairman, Mr. Valentine Buraimoh, for his efforts so far and stated that roads in Festac Town and the local government at large, which are in deplorable conditions, will be his administration’s top priority.

“No local government can grow without strong infrastructure. We will prioritise road rehabilitation, street lighting, and public utilities that make life easier for our residents,” he stated.

“This is a new beginning of progress and I promise: I am not here to rule. I am here to serve. Every ward will be carried along.

Every voice will be heard. Every budget will be transparent. We will lead with accountability and integrity,” he concluded.
