2017 Community Day Celebration: Lagos Takes Governance To Grassroot
The entire 20 Local Governments Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas of Lagos State will today come alive with the celebration of 2017 Community Day.
The state government through its Ministry of Local Government and Communities Affairs had earlier announced that this year's community day celebration will be decentralized to further enrich community participation in all the nooks and cranny of the State.
Hence, AgegePulse gathered that Agege LGA and Orile Agege LCDA are set to host members of the community at their respective secretariat to mingle and review progress made by government and other stakeholders in nurturing the networks of families and individuals with common interests.
Speaking at a press briefing recently, the Special Adviser to the Governor of the State on Community and Communications, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan, disclosed the decentralisation is targeted at increasing communalism by the various communities in the state.
He however, commended the over 3,900 CDAs in the State for initiating various self-help projects and for complementing government’s efforts in their various localities. He said the Ministry of Local Government and Communities Affairs had compiled the various needs of communities in the State through a need assessment survey it conducted recently.
Bamigbetan said: “The monitoring, evaluation and feedback roles of CDAs in project initiation, execution and delivery, the visibility accorded the CDAs in the organisation of government programmes, the renewed guidelines to local governments emphasizing the consultation of, and partnership with community development associations as a code of governance of this administration and many more.”
Today's Celebration will be followed by the grand finale at Adeyemi Bero auditorium, the Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, tomorrow.
