The Chairman of Onigbongbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Moyosore Adebanjo, has disclosed that women make up 35 per cent of the recently inaugurated Executive Council.

Adebanjo made the disclosure at the maiden edition of the Chairman’s Business Exchange tagged “Give to Gain,” reaffirming his administration’s commitment to promoting women’s leadership.

The programme, held in Ikeja, Lagos, brought together business leaders, policymakers and representatives of the organised private sector to strengthen collaboration aimed at driving economic growth and community development.

The event also formed part of activities marking the celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026.

Among dignitaries present were the Special Adviser to the Governor on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Oreoluwa Finnih-Awokoya; the Special Adviser to the Governor on Taxation and Revenue, Abdul-Kabir Opeyemi Ogungbo; and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Climate Change and Circular Economy, alongside representatives of the business community.

Speaking at the event, Adebanjo emphasised that strong economies are not built by government alone but through strategic partnerships with the private sector.

“Strong economies are not built by the government alone. They are built through partnership. When government and enterprise work together, development moves faster and prosperity becomes shared,” he said.

The council chairman also announced the establishment of a Public–Private Partnership (PPP) Desk within the Office of the Chairman to facilitate collaboration between businesses and the LCDA.

According to him, the initiative is aimed at attracting investment and fostering sustainable development within the council area.
