The Agege Local Government Community Development Committee (CDC) has commended acting council chairman, Vinod Obasa, for the ongoing recruitment of 600 additional street sweepers to enhance environmental sanitation across the community. According to the CDC, the first phase of the employment drive has already commenced, with 225 new sweepers engaged to clean various streets and inner roads within the council area. Speaking during a stakeholders’ meeting on Monday, CDC Chairman, Mr. Morufu Omodele, praised Obasa’s administration for initiating development projects that positively impact residents. “In the last three months of his administration, we have experienced tremendous improvements in security, environment, health, and education,” Omodele said. “We appreciate the ongoing employment of 600 street sweepers. This initiative will benefit many residents and improve environmental sanitation in our council.” He urged residents and stakeholders to continue supporting the council chairman to enable the community to enjoy more dividends of democracy. “He has been doing wonderfully well, and we believe that in a year, Agege will witness significant transformation,” Omodele added.
