I’m Relentless In Uplifting Living Standard Of Citizens Through My HEYS Agenda – Odunmbaku

The Ojodu Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Executive Chairman, Mr David Olusegun Odunmbaku, has reiterated his administration’s commitment in uplifting the living standard of the residents of his council area.

Odunmbaku said several initiatives have been put in place through his HEYS agenda (Health, Education, Youths empowerment and Social infrastructure) to achieve this.
