The chairman said that infrastructure helped  in stimulating local commerce, easing transportation, and improving the quality of life for residents.

She said the completed street road projects were; Olalekan Killa Street, Otunba Layi Giwa Street, Akodu street, Shina Dipe Street, Adewale-Logun Street, Salabiu Lamidi street, and Prince Street in Epe community.

The council chairman assured residents that more projects were in the pipeline, adding that her team was working tirelessly to execute developmental programmes and projects designed to uplift the well-being of the entire community.

‘This is just the beginning. We have a robust agenda that covers health care, education, and youth empowerment, all aimed at ensuring sustainable development for our people,” she assured.

Animashahun added that the council had also embarked on rehabilitation of drainage systems to mitigate flooding in vulnerable areas, a move that had been widely applauded by community leaders.

“Plans are also underway to enhance street lighting across major roads to improve security and extend commercial activities into the evening hours,” she said.

The council chairman urged residents to support government’s initiatives and take ownership of the newly completed projects.

“Development is a collective responsibility.

“We urge our people to protect and maintain these facilities so that they can serve generations to come,” she urged.
