The speaker underscored the tangible benefits of good governance, celebrating the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” and Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu’s administration.

He cited the government’s increased funding for security forces and the procurement of advanced military equipment, which led to the neutralisation of two prominent bandit leaders.

He observed that the administration’s fiscal policies and revenue-generating mechanisms have boosted investor confidence, diversified the economy, and led to an improved credit rating.

The acting Chairman of Agege Local Government, Vinod Obada, in his opening remark, highlighted that young people are central to Agege Local government’s strategy. He outlined several key initiatives focused on supporting youth through sports and education.
“In Agege, we don’t just talk about youth empowerment, we act. Education remains a top priority, with 250 indigent students receiving free GCE forms to ensure financial barriers don’t stand in the way of learning.
“The local government also awarded a N1 million cash prize to the best-performing WAEC student, signalling that academic excellence is noticed and rewarded,” he stated.
