Additionally, Sanwo-Olu facilitated the provision of 500KVA transformers to various communities such as Odan-Ilogbo-Eremi PH1 in Olorunda, Owu CDA in Ibeju-Lekki, Gengenla CDA in Agunfoye, Ama Street in Ijede, and Agbede Omolaye in Ikorodu. These initiatives aim to transform rural areas into semi-urban centers, reducing rural-urban migration.

The event, postponed in respect of the late Gboyega Soyannwo, Deputy Chief of Staff and a close ally of the governor, will also honor other individuals, including Oba Saheed Elegusi, Kusenla III, and Lukman Lawal, Special Adviser to the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The ceremony will feature an art exhibition, an audio-visual documentary of Sanwo-Olu’s achievements, and a presentation of a compendium chronicling his administration’s accomplishments. Sanwo-Olu and other grassroots achievers will receive awards of merit. The event will also include a lecture on grassroots governance by Kehinde Bamigbetan, Special Adviser to the Minister of Solid Minerals, offering insights into grassroots governance.

The recognition of Governor Sanwo-Olu underscores his administration’s dedication to the development and transformation of rural communities in Lagos State.
