IKORODU WEST, LAGOS – In a historic display of transformative leadership, the Executive Chairman of Ikorodu West LCDA, Hon. (Chief) Sulaimon Kazeem Olanrewaju, yesterday commissioned two landmark projects poised to redefine governance and community prosperity in Lagos State. Flanked by political titans, royal fathers, and elated residents, the Chairman declared, we laid the foundation for a future where progress is not just promised—it is delivered!”
The grand inauguration of the Ikorodu West Administrative Complex and West End Event Center saw an unprecedented gathering of Lagos’ leadership elite. Former Deputy Governor Prince Abiodun Ogunleye (Member, Lagos State Governance Advisory Council and Ikorodu Division Apex Leader), Leader Asiwaju Reuben Olorunfunmi Bashorun (Ex-Secretary to the State Government and Governance Advisory Council member), Hon. Sam Egube (Deputy Chief of Staff to Lagos State Governor), Ikorodu West Apex leaders, Party faithfuls, Legislatives and Executives stood united with royal custodians, including HRM Oba Bashiru Aremu Shotonwa, (Sekumade of Ipakodo Kingdom) and the Olu of Agboyi Ketu, HRM (Engr) Monsuru Abimbola Oladega in endorsing the LCDA’s vision. “This is not merely a project launch—it is a covenant with our people,” stated Hon. Sulaimon Kazeem Olanrewaju, paying tribute to mentors like the late Alhaji Salisu Olaribigbe Alogba, federal lawmakers Sen. Adetokunbo Mukhail Abiru and Hon. Babajimi Adegoke Benson.
The newly unveiled Administrative Complex stands as a 21st-century hub equipped with digital service portals, ergonomic workspaces, and a dedicated citizens’ feedback unit to streamline governance.
Meanwhile, the West End Event Center, a cultural and economic nexus, is designed to host global events, spur tourism, and empower local entrepreneurs. These flagship projects complement over 15 completed infrastructure initiatives, including the fully rehabilitated Olayinka Jimbo Street, Davis Crescent,
Guests marveled at the council’s track record under Suleiman’s leadership: rehabilitated roads like Olayinka Jimbo Street and Davis Crescent, the newly constructed Liberty Road with drainage systems, and upgraded sections of Taiwo Molajo Street. A compendium distributed at the event highlighted over a dozen projects completed since his tenure began, drawing nods of approval from attendees.
GAC leader Prince Ogunleye, who commissioned the Event Center, praised Suleiman’s “laser focus on development,” urging him to “keep raising the bar.” Similarly, Basorun Olorunfunmi, who inaugurated the Administrative Building, called it “a bold statement of progress,” while traditional rulers blessed the projects as catalysts for unity and growth.
But beyond the glitz, the real buzz centered on impact. Market women cheered the smoother roads easing commerce, youths hailed potential job opportunities at the Event Center, and staff grinned at their new ergonomic offices. “This is governance we can see and touch,” one resident remarked, capturing the mood.
As the ceremony closed, Eleyinju Anu doubled down on his promise to “hoist Ikorodu West’s flag higher,” teasing future plans for healthcare, education, and youth empowerment. With Lagos’ eyes now on the council’s meteoric strides, one thing is clear: Ikorodu West is scripting a blueprint for grassroots transformation, one project at a time.
