Earlier today at the Methodist Primary School in Igbogbo was the commissioning of a newly constructed block comprising 5 classrooms equipped with furniture, alongside an adjacent block featuring 8 modern toilet units. This development comes as a response to the school’s persistent challenges with restroom facilities and a long-standing request from the school management.
The executive chairman in his address expressed gratitude to the apex leaders and the electorate for entrusting him with their representation. Notably, the chairman acknowledged the longstanding need for improved facilities, highlighting the successful completion of the school’s perimeter fence—a vital step towards ensuring a safe and secure environment for the pupils.
Looking forward, the chairman announced additional upcoming projects, including the construction of a new primary school in Oshorun, Ibeshe, and another in Olu Odo, responding to a request that had lingered for 41 years. He proudly mentioned that his administration has increased the number of health centers in the LCDA from 6 to 9, emphasizing a commitment to healthcare accessibility.
Further, the chairman disclosed plans to commission a newly interlocked street, ‘Market Street,’ in Igbogbo within the next three weeks, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to community development.
