“Growing up in the heart of Ebute Meta was quite interesting under the tutelage
of my God sent guardian/mother, Chief Mrs. Iyabode Oduwole of blessed memory.
She was the architect of everything you see in me today. My only regret in life
is the fact that she is not alive today to witness how her mentorship regime
served as the solid foundation for my success in life (Dr. Adejare weeps). Our
mandate from Mr. Governor is to ensure a clean and flood free environment that
is conducive for all. Part of it is to plant 10million trees by 2020. We’ve
grown about 7million trees as at today, we are sure of surpassing our target by
2020. We urge every individual to imbibe the culture of planting a tree to mark
important days (birthday, wedding, anniversary, e.t.c) in their lives. This
will aid our resolve for a greener environment.
The monthly Environmental
Sanitation was cancelled because we were convinced that shutting down Lagos for
3hrs of every last Saturday of the month is a disgrace to us, cleaning our
environment should be our way of life. We will embark on viral sensitization
and education of our people on the need to be mindful of the importance of a
clean environment. Our blueprint for Lagos environment will cater for the nooks
and crannies of the state.
Talking about Agege, Hon. Adejare
said; “We have a master plan for Agege and Governor Ambode is very interested
in it. In terms of flood in Agege and Orile Agege, there are plans to start a
massive drainage system in areas like Akilo, Alaagba, Pero, Papa, Agbotikuyo,
Dopemu amongst others to address flooding and environmental issues in the area.
Before the end of this administration, the railway area of Agege will also
witness massive facelift. They are all in our plans and our working Governor
has keyed into it.”
On why he dumped Medicine for
Politics, he said; “A typical doctor is a politician, the study of Medicine is
to make people comfortable and Politics is to take good governance to the
people with quality representation while ensuring people live comfortably.
Medicine and Politics are interwoven in terms of end result. As a medical
student, I represented the department all through my six years in school.”
