In continuation of activities marking his 100 Working Days in Office, the Executive Chairman of Ikeja Local Government, Comrade Akeem Olalekan Dauda (AKOD), on Thursday commissioned two newly rehabilitated roads—Shanu Street and Balogun Street—further deepening his administration’s drive for infrastructural renewal across the council area.
The commissioning, which drew an impressive audience of party leaders, technocrats, and community stakeholders, was performed by the Lagos State APC Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi. The party helmsman, who arrived with members of the APC State Working Committee, described AKOD’s achievements as “a clear demonstration of purposeful leadership and a commitment to the welfare of the people.”
Ojelabi praised the Chairman for keeping faith with his promises, saying the new roads highlight the APC’s dedication to grassroots development and improved living conditions. He urged residents to continue supporting the party as it works to expand prosperity and strengthen community-focused governance.
> “Chairman AKOD is making the party proud by keeping his promises and improving the quality of life of Ikeja residents,” Ojelabi said. “We urge the people to continue supporting the APC as we deepen our agenda for progress and prosperity.”
Also present at the Shanu Street commissioning was the Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Dr. Kayode Opeifa, who commended AKOD for sustaining momentum in service delivery and prioritising projects that directly impact residents.
The event attracted several notable personalities, including: Deputy Majority Leader, Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Adedamola Richard Kasunmu (ARK), Vice Chairman of Ikeja Local Government, Hon. Abisola Omisore, APC Ikeja LGA Chairman, Alhaji Adekunle Dally-Adeokun, Immediate Past Executive Chairman of Ikeja LGA, Engr. Mojeed Alabi Balogun, FNSE, Immediate Past Vice Chairman, Hon.

Many applauded AKOD for prioritising infrastructure despite the short timeframe of his 100 Days agenda.
