The Chairman of Òdì-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA, Hon. Seyi Jakande, has Commissioned the newly rehabilitated Adegboyega and Adelakun Street roads.
The commissioning was done on Monday, 10 November, 2025. The ceremony, marking a triumph of campaign promises, drew cheers from residents who lauded Jakande’s commitment to transforming their neighborhood under his HEWA Agenda.
Standing amidst gleaming asphalt, marked lanes, and a palpable buzz of relief, Jakande addressed the crowd: “This isn’t just about roads—it’s about dignity. It’s about ensuring our children don’t miss school during the rains, our traders aren’t stranded, and our elderly can move freely. This is a collective victory for Òdì-Olowo.”
Emphasising the importance of community responsibility, he urged residents to use the roads properly and avoid spoiling them. “The quality of materials used will ensure these roads last long,” he assured the crowd. He also used the opportunity to inform them that an enforcement team has been set up to make sure no indiscriminate abuse of their usage.
Chief Imam Rafiu Ajibola of Adegboyega Street who opened the ceremony with a prayer, praised the Chairman for the benefits his leadership has brought to the street in his first 100 days. Also Pastor Akinsanya, a resident of Adelakun Street, passionately highlighted Jakande’s proactive leadership, emphasizing his achievements during this period.
Elders and members of the Community Development Association (CDA) commended the chairman for his commitment to the community, stressing that hard work begets more work, while praying for God’s strength for him. They urged the chairman to focus on street beautification, particularly at night.
Other residents also echoed gratitude. Mrs. Aisha Ogunleye, a local trader, beamed: “These roads have changed everything! No more potholes, no more vehicles stuck in mud. Seyi Jakande kept his word.” Another resident, reflecting on the legacy of the Jakande family, expressed, “The Jakande legacy lives on. This is what we voted for.
Mr. Thompson Igri, new Chairman of Road Enforcement in Adegboyega, thanked Jakande for the good job.
Highlighting the historical significance of the event, he noted that the last road construction in the area was completed in 1982 by late Alhaji Lateef Jakande, the first Executive Governor of Lagos State. In his words, “A lion must give birth to a lion,” affirming that Jakande’s father’s legacy continues in Hon Seyi Jakande’s bold governance. He expressed no surprise at the progress made in just 100 days, suggesting it was unique to the Jakande’s leadership.
The event culminated in a vote of thanks by CDA Chairman Mr. Fowowe, who expressed gratitude on behalf of residents from Adegboyega and Adelakun Streets, thanking the government under Hon Seyi Jakande for delivering the dividends of democracy to their community.
The projects, executed with precision by seasoned engineers, feature durable asphalt, clear lane markings, and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks. Jakande assured, “This is part of the phase one projects totaling 14 roads. We’re tackling more roads, drainage, and public spaces in our community. No one will be left behind.”
The event capped a week of milestones for Jakande, who recently celebrated his first 100 days in office.
