Hon. Eletu Moshood Olawale’s Achievements
In the past one year of my administration as the Supervisor for the Environment, Lagos Island Local Government, we have contributed positively to the lives and social development of the people through the welfarist government of my indefatigable Chairman Hon Tijani Adetoyese Olusi .
During December 2017, we de-silted drainages in Oko Faji area from Binuyo to Aroloya, From Isale Agbede to Ojo Giwa, From Colins down to the High rise building at Isale Gangan which were all inspected by the Chairman, Lagos Island Local Government Hon Tijani Adetoyese Olusi.
Thereafter, in January 2018,we had the refuse menace on all the streets and high ways in the State in which my Local Government was able to put under control with lots of sacrifices from staff of the department and the unrelenting support of the Executive Chairman, the immeasurable supports from the Executive and the Legislative Members, not leaving out the CDA’s & the CDC’s ,Market leaders.
In February 2018,We continued with the de-silting exercise from Adeniji adele road, from Church street to Bashua street, from Sasi street to Iga idungaran (oba’s palace) ,coupled with intervention on clearing of refuse in the whole Lagos island local government, these really gave us sleepless nights.
On the 5th of June 2018, we Celebrated The World Environment Day with the theme “Beat plastic pollution”.
We continued with our drainage evacuation at Oju Olokun street down to Oju rowo in Isale eko area where we also inspected the evacuation of drainage by the state government at phase 1 channeled through to Ilubirin into the lagoon ,then to Oroyinyin in which the Local Government did the carting away.
Then by July 14th 2018 we had Tree planting day and we also evacuated drainage from Pelewura market to Bombata market then to Jankara market before we crossed to Binuyo, to Aroloya and through Idumagbo avenue to Ojo giwa.
August was another wonderful experience to the holy land makkah to complete the five pillars of Islam championed by my able chairman.
September,October has been strictly on sanitation,monitoring and inspection on the environment of the local government because it was during this period we had cholera outbreak in the local government and this was due to unclean environment so we had two patients and we were able to put a halt to the menace by proper sensitization and enforcement by the health department and environment department.
Not letting out my ward in supporting and also contributed immensely on development of ward by creating job employment,empowerment program,clearing of palm church street to Onikepo street to Wema Board Plaza, to Elias Street and giving out cleaning materials and the forth coming programme which is CHRISTMAS FUN FAIR PARTY.
