In the heart of Lagos State lies Agege, a vibrant community with a rich cultural heritage and resilient spirit. Over the years, the people have yearned for transformational leadership — a purposeful administration driven by experience, innovation, and a passion for people-centered development. Today, that yearning meets fulfillment as Hon. Tunde Azeez, popularly known as "Disco", teams up with AbdulGaniu Vinod Obasa in what many have described as the perfect duo to steer the ship of Agege Local Government toward unprecedented progress.

Hon. Tunde Azeez is no stranger to the political landscape of Agege. Known for his accessibility, street credibility, and unwavering commitment to community growth, “Disco” has always been a people’s man. His leadership style, rooted in inclusiveness and dynamic governance, has made him a household name not just in Agege, but across Lagos.

 DiscoAvo: Perfect Duo to Uplift Agege Local Government

Their agenda is clear: to elevate every sector of the local government, leaving no community behind.

Agege residents can look forward to upgraded primary health care centers equipped with modern facilities and staffed by well-trained personnel. The new administration is setting its sights on reducing maternal and infant mortality, increasing access to affordable healthcare, and initiating community-based health campaigns to foster a healthier populace.

Understanding that the future belongs to the educated, Hon. Azeez and Obasa are rolling out a robust education support program. This includes welfare packages for teachers to boost morale and enhance productivity. Students, especially those in public schools, will benefit from learning materials, scholarships, and after-school programs. Dilapidated school structures across the LG will be renovated to provide a more conducive learning environment for the younger generation.

One of the administration’s top priorities is tackling the issue of bad roads. With a focused plan for massive road reconstruction, drainage improvements, and pedestrian-friendly walkways, the people of Agege can expect smoother commutes, improved business traffic, and reduced flooding. These infrastructure upgrades will not only beautify the area but also boost economic activity and attract investment.

The duo understands the heartbeat of Agege lies in its people — especially the youth. Skill acquisition programs, empowerment grants, and youth-focused entrepreneurship initiatives are on the drawing board. For the elderly and vulnerable groups, social welfare programs will ensure that no one is left out of the government’s vision for inclusive growth.

*This is more than just a political arrangement — it’s a partnership born out of purpose. The synergy between Hon. Tunde Azeez and AbdulGaniu Vinod Obasa is one of shared values, complementary strengths, and a united vision for Agege*. Together, they are poised to change the narrative and restore hope in grassroots governance.
