Sanwo-Olu asks community leaders to monitor projects

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has implored leaders of the community development associations and community development committees to monitor the 377 projects going on in the various wards in the state to ensure that quality is not compromised.

A statement on Tuesday said he spoke at the Lagos State 2020 Community Day, themed, ‘Promise Made, Promise Kept, More To Come.’

The governor, who joined the event virtually, said his administration was committed to completing all projects in the state.

He also urged residents to comply with COVID-19 regulations put in place by the government.

The state Commissioner Local Government and Community Affairs, Wale Ahmed, said the present administration had started transforming rural communities to reduce rural-urban drift.

Ahmed said the governor had chosen the occasion as an extension of government recognition, support and encouragement for Lagos communities to do more as development partners.

Three CDAs – Oshorun-Heritage, Peace Estate and Itesiwaju Odo-Kekere – received an 18-seater bus each for executing developmental projects in their domains.

Ten other CDAs were rewarded with N500,000 as consolation prizes.
