Epe Local Government was presented with the award for the Best Performing LG in the division at the Epe Division Community Annual Awards organized by the Concerned NationBuilders Initiative (CNI).
I was there to receive the award on behalf of the good people of Epe Local Government.
I say a big thank you to organizers of the event for this initiative that honours community builders and leaders of all ages and also brought together some of the most prominent pillars of Epe including Alhaji Shakiru Akanni Seriki-Bamu, Right Honourable Adeyemi Ikuforiji, Chief Muyiwa Akintola, Hon. Segun Olulade Eleniyan, Dr. Olayiwole Onasanya, Alhaja Ramota Bankole, Mrs. Saidat Olayinka Oladunjoye, to name a few.
I am indeed humbled by this recognition. This administration has operated on 3 core values: Impact, Progress, Development
These words mean a lot of things to different people but the most important part is – it is all for the greater good.
In the course of my tenure, we have constructed roads and drainages, we have built schools, we have built multi-purpose market complexes, we have improved on infrastructure that were abandoned and/or bad shape.
It is easy to look at these things you can see with your physical eyes and count with your fingers as the only measure of progress, impact or development.
Personally, I am more concerned and focused on how this reflects in the lives of people. How I am able to add value to every individual I come across, empower and develop human capital.
The value added to an individual’s life are the things that outlive any administration or personal biases. Because when you develop the people, you sustain a nation.
