According to him, governor AbdulRazaq’s stance on the local government autonomy was in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Salahu spoke in Ilorin, when the people of Ayegbami community, Dada, Okelele, Ilorin paid him a thank-you visit over the repair of their vandalised electricity transformer fully funded by the Ilorin East local government.
Salahu told them that the gesture showed that the local government administration in the state has been very effective under the administrations of President Tinubu and Governor AbdulRazaq.
He praised the governor for implementing full local government autonomy that has resuscitated the hitherto moribund local government administration by granting the councils’ helmsmen free hands to operate.
Salahu noted that dividends of democracy are now being felt at the grassroots in all parts of the local government.
“In Ibagun Ward in particular, Ilorin East local government has remodeled the Upper Area Court Complex in Akerebiata, along Sobi Army Barrack road, Ilorin, donated a transformer to Igbawere community, constructed drainage and graded Abata Jagun, Sorafaja/Al- Nur road; repaired boreholes at Olaoparun, Omitopo , Dada, Alawo- Nla areas and Kankatu Market which was was equally remodeled after a rainstorm, not long ago,” Salahu added.
Earlier, the chairman of Ayegbami Community Development Association, Imam Daud Alata, had requested Salahu to express the profound gratitude of the people of the community to the Ilorin East local government chairman, Hon. Lukman Agbelere.
