Police arrest ‘fake’ EFCC official in Lagos

RESIDENTS of Igando-Ikotun Local Council Development Area, Lagos State have been advised to pay attention to their environment to avoid environmental disasters.

This was the crux of the message of Hon Joseph Kehinde, member representing Alimosho Constituency 1 to his people at the constituency stakeholders’ meeting held at the council head-office in Ikotun, Lagos.

Chairman of the LCDA, Chief Mrs. Morenike Adeshina Williams, party dignitaries in the community, traditional rulers and other community stakeholders attended the meeting.

Stressing that the meeting is to “re-orientate ourselves on the need to properly handle our environmental challenges to rid Lagos of its recurrent waste challenges,” Joseph craved the co-operation of all stakeholders in the community, while promising that all the issues espoused and solutions suggested will be tabled before the House of Assembly and governor to prepare the 2020 budget.

A brief video detailing some of the nagging challenges of the community spanning health, education and the environment was also shown, to demonstrate the MPs familiarity with his constituency.

Speaking on behalf of the traditional rulers in the community, the Elegbe of Egbe, Oba Ashimiyu Olorunfemi called the attention of the authorities to the dilapidated state of the Ikotun-Egbe-Ejigbo road, which he says causes constant gridlock and untold hardship to road users.

He also condemned the reckless one-way driving of some motorists, which constitutes risk to life and called on the police authorities to rise up to the challenge.
