LG chair restores street lights 20 years after

The Chairman of Ikoyi/Obalende Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon Fuad Atanda-Lawal,  has fulfilled his promise to the residents of Obalende to ensure that street lights in the community, which had been out of order for over 20 years, become functional again on or before the 1st of January 2020.

In his speech at the commissioning of the rejuvenated street lights on New Year’s day, Hon Fuad explained that he was committed to the completion of the project especially as he spent his formative years in Obalende, a community which he had a vivid recollection of being a flourishing one.

He said the project was conceived as part of his administration’s goals to deliver dividends of democracy to the people and to restore the community to its former glory.

According to him, the restoration of the street lights will enable residents to live in a crime-free environment and enjoy prolonged business hours, which will help to increase revenue for business owners.
