…Approves N28.5m grants, vehicles to Community Development Committees
…As 3900 CDAS endorse Gov for second term
Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode on Thursday joined in the celebration of the grand finale of 2017 Community Day, assuring that the year 2018 would be better for residents and investors in terms of implementation of projects and policies aimed at making life comfortable and easier.
Speaking at the programme held at Adeyemi Bero Auditorium in Alausa, Ikeja with the theme: "Community Affinity: Aligning Lagos Communities With Private Sector," Governor Ambode said though a lot had been done through implementation of various projects and initiatives by his administration across the communities, but a lot more would be done to truly transform and secure the future of the State.
The Governor, who at the event was endorsed for second term, particularly urged the people to continue to support the State Government and be faithful to their civic obligations, saying that government in turn would reciprocate by implementing various projects across the State.
He said: "Y2018 is going to be a better year for Lagos. It is a year we hope to achieve phenomenal increase in the State's ability to sustain itself by persuading more people to share in the burden of the transformation going on across the State.
"You are all witnesses to the modest projects our administration has executed such as the reconstruction of Airport Road, Light Up Lagos, the Oshodi Transport Interchange, the Abule Egba and Ajah bridges, the ongoing Agege flyover, waterways channelization and construction of jetties, the Ikeja Bus Terminal, the Badagry Marina and the massive deployment of security personnel and equipment across the State.
"What you have not seen, but which is on the way is the implementation of the embedded power project which will bring electricity to every home in Lagos. You have also not seen the reforms which we are going to execute in the transport sector which will ease connectivity across the State.
"With your support through the performance of your obligations, we can safely commit ourselves in the conviction that by the end of Y2018, our communities will be better with more youths gainfully employed and small businesses growing. With a home to return to and a community to live in, our dream of a more secure and prosperous State will be another Nigerian wonder."
While emphasizing the importance of the Community Day celebration, Governor Ambode said community development was at the heart of the policies of his administration and a key consideration in every government decision.
“It captures the vision and the mission of our administration to continually work for the general good of the people. At inception, we declared clearly our commitment to give governance to the citizens of this State, young and old, men and women, able and challenged.
“We said in our manifesto that from where ever you come from, as far as you labour and add value to the productivity of our dynamic and vibrant State, our government shall work with you to make Lagos State a better, livable and more prosperous home. Two and a half years after we signed that contract with you, we can confidently reflect on our policies, programmes and projects and assert that we have been true to our vision and we have been very honest in our mission,” the Governor said.
Besides, Governor Ambode commended the Community Development Associations (CDAs) for their various self-help initiatives aimed at developing their neighborhood, and urged them to continue.
At the event, Governor Ambode presented three vehicles to the best CDAs which performed creditably-well in executing projects at their neighborhood to complement government, while he also increased the prize of the community development competition to six vehicles next year.
The Governor also approved immediate support fund of N500, 000 each to all the 57 Community Development Committees (CDCs) in the State totaling N28.5million.
In his goodwill message, Chairman of Lagos State Community Development Advisory Committee, the umbrella body for all the 3900 CDAs in the State, Alhaji Tajudeen Quadri, said having reviewed the activities of Governor Ambode ever since assuming office, the body has decided to support him for a second term.
He said: “Having reviewed the activities and lofty accomplishments of our silent achiever in the area of equitable distribution of road infrastructures, health, education, security, emergency response, welfare especially with consideration for people living with disabilities, among others, we have unanimously resolved to support this administration for a second term to consolidate on the gains of the last 30 months in our match towards a megalopolis of our dream.”
Exclusive: CAPDAN President, Ojikutu Niyi Honoured as Most Friendly Community Personality of Ikeja
Agege Pulse Magazine
To say the incumbent President of Computer and Allied Product Dealers Association of Nigeria (CAPDAN), Comrade Ojikutu Niyi Hammed is friendly, humble and sheerful is like saying the obvious. He's proven to be choiced personality with alluring virtues that would endear people towards him naturally.
The youthful computer village leader has become a household name in Ikeja, thanks to his many developmental strides in the popular one-stop computer hub.
Although, the dandy dude has won several personal laurels, he was taken by surprise yesterday when he was presented with the award of the Most Community Friendly Personality in Ikeja by Ikeja Community Development Council during the 2017 Community Day celebration.
An elated Ojikutu put his feelings into perspective through an update on his facebook status. He said; "I have received Awards Locally and Internationally but I must say that I appreciate this, so much that it triggers the Happiness and Appreciation Button in me."
"I don't have all the monies in the world, but I am always happy at humanity." Ojikutu said.
He dedicated the award to all CAPDAN excos, members, Ikeja CDC and the entire Ikeja Local Government.

Reps Honour Disabled Ex Homeless Street Beggar turned Lawyer, Medical Student Record Breaker
The House of Representatives on Tuesday honoured Mr Abdulsalam Kamaldeen Idowu, a disabled and former homeless street beggar for sponsoring himself through school to become a lawyer and political science graduate and Miss Aarinola Olaiya of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife for attaining exceptional record in her academic pursuit.
The decision followed the adoption of a motion sponsored by the House Leader, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila (Lagos-APC).
The House resolved to establish, by law, a Parliamentary Honours/Award System for recognition of extraordinary achievements by Nigerians.
Gbajabiamila while introducing the Honourees said that the motion was intended to reward excellence and encourage citizens who had elevated the ideals of the Nigerian society.
"When ordinary Nigerians do Extra ordinary things then they must be celebrated and all men and women of power and influence must rise and bow to them", he said .
"Nigerians and the world celebrate Messi and Ronaldo everyday for the amazing things they are able to do with their legs and today we must celebrate Abdulsalam for the amazing things he has been able to do without his legs", the House Leader added.
According to him, Abdulsalam Idowu displayed resilience and hard work by studying political science and law from street begging and despite being homeless for years sleeping at Idumota Motor Park in Lagos.
“Idowu lost his two legs to polio at the age of three, lost his mother at the age of four, started primary school at eight and resorted to street begging to raise money to buy uniforms, books and to feed.
“He begged for arms from primary through secondary school and was known on the streets of Lagos as a beggar.
“From street begging he bought GCE form in 2002, sat and passed the GCE and Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exam and was subsequently admitted to study political science at the University of Lagos.
“As he was preparing to complete his first degree, he sat for the West African School Certificate Examination and JAMB.
“In his determination to become a lawyer, passed the exams studied law and was later admitted to Nigerian Law School in 2015 and was called to the Nigerian Bar on Nov. 30 2016,’’ Gbajabiamila said.
Gbajabiamila also said, “Aarinola, 24, who was admitted into OAU, Ile-Ife, Osun to study Medicine and Surgery in 2011, scored an excellent Cumulative Grade Point (CGPA) of 4.74 in her first year.
“Subsequently in her second through to the sixth year scored Distinctions and in Anatomy, Medical Biochemistry and Physiology (200L), Distinctions in Medical Biochemistry and Pharmacology (300L); Distinctions in Pathology and Pharmacology (400L).
She capped it with "Distinctions in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Mental Health and Dermatology (500L) and Distinctions in Surgery (600L), an achievement that had been elusive for a period of 28 years in the university.", the House Leader added.
Gbajabiamila informed his colleagues that Master Ayodele Dada of Adisa Bashua Street, Surulere 1, federal constituency, Lagos who was similarly introduced to the House and the world in same manner on the 26th of March, 2016, for breaking the 5.0 Cumulative Grade Point at graduation in the University of Lagos just concluded his service at the Central Bank of Nigeria and preparing to further his studies abroad after receiving several job offers and do believe that Aarinola and Abdulsalam will soar higher as well.
Other members who spoke glowingly of the achievements of the duo of Aarinola and AbdulSalam are: the Deputy Speaker, Lasun Yusuff (APC, Osun); Rep. Edward Pwajok (SAN); Rep. Sunday Adepoju (APC, Oyo); Rep. Johnson Oghuma (APC, Edo); Rep. Saheed Akinade Fijabi (APC, Oyo); Rep. Sodaguwo Festus-Omoni (PDP, Bayelsa); Rep. Dapo Lam-Adesina (APC, Oyo).
The Lawmakers gave the honourees a standing ovation while the Speaker of the House of Representatives shook hands of Aarinola and Abdulsalam and charged them to keep hope burning having succeeded in shattering the glass ceiling. A larger number of lawmakers and staff of the National Assembly were seen taking pictures with the honourees.

...As Ajimobi, Aregbesola, Dickson, others underscore women's role in nation building
Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode on Wednesday acknowledged the resilient nature of women and their strategic role in national development, saying that it was important for concerted efforts to be made to protect them against abuse and anything that can inhibit their progress.
Speaking at the 2017 National Women Summit of Oyo State Officials' Wives Association (OYSOWA) held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan, Governor Ambode said women are endowed with God-given abilities to get stronger no matter the circumstances and equally make positive difference in the lives of others even at their detriment.
The Governor, who attended the event alongside his wife, Mrs Bolanle Ambode, said the least to appreciate women is for efforts to be made to create space for them and fight for their rights.
According to Governor Ambode, "The least we can do to appreciate our women and reciprocate their resilience and sacrifice is to give them all the support they require to achieve their dreams.
"As a Governor, I am strongly committed and determined to create the space for our women and protect them against abuse and everything that will inhibit their progress.
"This is my commitment and I believe, it is the same for my other colleagues, including my brother, Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State whose support for his darling wife has made this event a reality."
While describing the theme of the summit which is “The Resilient Woman: Making a Difference,” as apt, Governor Ambode said it confirmed the hidden strengths of women which keep them going even in the face of most difficult challenges.
He added: "It is this resilience that has made the woman the warmth and bond that keeps the family together.
"This is very graphically expressed in the words of Eleanor Roosevelt who said “a woman is like a tea bag – you cannot tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water”. Our women have shown that they are not only strong but resilient, hardworking, gentle, loving and beautiful.
"Over the years, the indispensability of women in governance has continued to be appreciated and recognized particularly in this part of the world. In Lagos, whenever I have the opportunity I always say this; if you want a job done well, give it to a woman. Women make the difference," Governor Ambode said.
Besides, Governor Ambode admonished women to positively deploy their skill set in any given position for the betterment of the country.
In their lectures, former Vice President of Zimbabwe, Dr Joice Musuru and former First Lady of Liberia, Senator Jewel Howard-Taylor, who were the keynote speakers, said African women must be inspired to do more even when the challenge appears insurmountable and also have the desire to make positive transformation.
They also advised women to be real, create their own stories, never give up and mentor the next generation of women leaders.
In their goodwill messages, Governors Rauf Aregbesola (Osun); Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa) and the host Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo) all underscored the importance of women to nation building, saying any society or organization that position women other than the frontline role is destined for failure.
They also called on women to revive the tradition of productivity and responsibility to the country in their children, saying such would bring about a better society, better nation and better people.

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.

Agege LG Partners Nollywood Super Star, Antar Laniyan
...To Empower Youths in Film Making, Acting and Audio-visual Productions
In a bid to ensure youths in Agege Local Government Area are gainfully and positively engaged, management of the council under the leadership of Alhaji Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi, is set to partner Veteran Nollwood actor, Antar Laniyan.
This was disclosed yesterday when Mr. Anta Laniyan paid courtesy visit on the Execuitve Chairman of Agege LG, Alhaji Egunjobi.
Recall that Egunjobi, during his electioneering, had promised to design various empowerment programmes that would prevent youths from illicit and immoral engagements.
Agege Pulse reliably gathered that the partnership with the Nollywood star would take the youths out of the street through empowerment in the area of Art which includes acting, scripting writing, film making and audio-visual production.
Speaking at the meeting, Antar Laniyan said: "We want the youth to know their potential and what they are capable of doing because we started raw with little or no resources".
"The best time to achieve this is now that Agege Local government has an amiable chairman who is a good listener". Antar Laniyan concluded.
On his part, the chairman asserted that his administration is mostly interested in sustainable development of the youth, which is beyond giving peanuts to them.
In a brief chat with Agege Pulse, Antar Laniyan revealed that he spent part of his teenage years in Agege, hence understands the myraid of potential deposited in Agege youths.
He said the proposed youth empowerment initiative tagged: 'Annual Agege Youth Festival (AAYF),' would serve as a way of giving back to the community that made him.

| Idowu London Shoemaker |
Idowu the London Shoemaker is a household name to many residents of Agege most especially Orile Agege area. She is married with kids. But her marital status and gender are not enough to discourage from doing opposite gender's profession better than them.
Idowu the London Shoemaker's style of handling customer's shoes is unrivalled in her base. Reports say she wins customers heart easily through her perfect handling of customers' footwear, especially in the area of shoe polishing.
She said she had tried her hands in so many trades to make ends meet but wouldn't achieve breakthrough in them. “I have learnt so many vocations ranging from fashion designing, hairdressing, trading and many more without success in any of them. Some people around had tried to lure me into illicit trades like prostitution because of my predicament but I always made them realised that my travail is just a phase that I will definitely overcome”, Idowu revealed.
Fortune smiled on Idowu when according to her, she received a divine call from God that she should venture into shoe shinning trade. “Since then, it has been a success story”.
On how her newly found endeavour has been putting food on her table, Idowu narrated that she makes an average of N1000 daily. Interestingly, she made over N2000 at the spot where AgegePulse had the brief chat with her through voluntary donations by people who were touched by her story.

Adebule advises students to keep abreast of global current affairs
AgegePulse Magazine
Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Oluranti Adebule has called on pupils and students of public schools in the State to always arm themselves with information on happenings around the world as a way of deepening their knowledge and make informed decisions on issues that affect their development as individuals and group of people.
The Deputy Governor gave the advice at the finals of the Year 2017 Lagos State Government Current Affairs Quiz Competition, held at the Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
She explained that the State Government came up with the competition on current affairs because of the observation that there was a lapse in students’ performance in the area as revealed by their response to questions posed to them during the Science, Arts and Craft Exhibition and Talent Hunt organised as part of the activities marking the Eko@50 celebrations.
According to her, the world is now a global village and there is the need to keep abreast of happenings all around the world to guide the people in taking an informed decision on issues bordering on development.
“We stand to learn from scientific, technological, social, economic and political developments the world over, this will surely influence how we make decisions and respond to issues as they affect us as individuals and group of people” Adebule stated.
The Deputy Governor expressed delight at the level of improvement exhibited by the students, expressing the hope that the competition would create healthy rivalry to ultimately develop the standards of education among participants in the competition.
“There is no gainsaying that , Lagos State Quiz and Debate competitions have over the years produced many very brilliant students who have gone ahead to study their courses of choice in various institutions of higher learning both at home and abroad and I am positive that this brand of the competition will further help our students to learn fast and be abreast of the happenings around them,’’ she said.
While reassuring the public of the State government’s commitment to the implementation of sustainable educational policies, Adebule disclosed that 18 libraries in public schools have been renovated and upgraded to provide unlimited access to digital content on the online portal.
In a keenly contested quiz competition, Isaiah Joseph and Olaniyi Ibukun from Ansar –UD -Deen Senior High School, Falolu, Surulere emerged overall best winners in the Senior schools' category, while Lagos State Model College, Kankon came second.
Similarly, in the Junior Schools category, Adedokun Salamat and Adedokun Abdullah from Lagos State Junior Model College, Igbo Nla came first to defeat Elegbede Mustakim and Sholuade Adebayo of Aje Comprehensive Junior School, Sabo, Yaba.
In the Primary School category of the competition, Ireti Primary School, Apapa represented by Ajisebutu Samson and Ndubusi Edith defeated their counterparts from Federal Housing Estate Primary School, Victoria Island with a slim margin of 18 to 16 points.
The winners were presented with gifts and trophies to encourage better performance in subsequent editions.
LASG intensifies efforts to ensure food safety for Lagosians
The Lagos State Government has established four main sub-committees for the implementation of activities on food safety in line with National guidelines and International best practices.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Primary Health Care, Dr. Olufemi Onanuga disclosed this in a keynote address at the maiden meeting of the State Food Safety and Hygiene Management Committee held recently.
Onanuga who listed the sub-committees to include Advocacy and Social Mobilization, Training and Capacity Building, Partnership and Resource Mobilization and Monitoring and Evaluation said that the committees are expected to develop operational activities in line with the National Policy on Food Safety and its Implementation Strategy as well as International best practices.
“I hope that the reports of activities of this committee will help to develop a very strong basis for an enviable implementation strategy that will be all-encompassing and achieve the result of ensuring safe food for all Lagosians,” he remarked.
The Special Adviser stated that the National Policy on Food Safety and its Implementation Strategy is a document that has been clearly developed along with its implementation framework by the Federal Ministry of Health in conjunction with Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
He said the Ministry of Health has embarked on various activities to strengthen its food safety programmes through active routine inspection of food handling/processing establishments and implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP).
“HACCP is a systematic preventive approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes. It designs measurements to reduce these risks to a safe level by putting in place stringent actions and strictly monitoring and controlling each process,” he remarked.
The Special Adviser observed that there has been a tremendous growth in inspection coverage of the food handling industry in the State as a total of 1,651 inspections were carried out in 2016 representing 63% coverage against 55% coverage recorded in 2015.
While giving his assurances that the level of coverage in 2017 has increased, he noted that food establishments in Lagos State have already embraced the implementation of HACCP and all its pre-requisite programmes with a view to assuring safe food for all Lagosians at all levels.

The Lagos State Government on Sunday said plans have been concluded to stage this year's edition of the Lagos Street Carnival scheduled to hold on December 3 along Oba Akran Avenue in Ikeja.The Special Adviser to the State Governor on Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Adebimpe Akinsola, in an interview with newsmen, said the venue of the carnival would be shut down but adequate preparations have been made for alternative routes to mitigate the impact of the road closure on motorists and residents.Dubbed, “Lagos Street Party’’ in its maiden edition last year, the event has grown into a carnival to mark the start of the end of the year activities, celebrate the multi-cultural nature of Lagosians and reposition the State as a formidable cultural destination.
Speaking on security arrangements already put in place, Akinsola said, "We like to assure Lagosians and visitors that efforts are in place to ensure that the venue and environs are safe and incident-free”.“We expect more visitors this year and a lot more will be coming.
In terms of security and crowd control, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture is not working alone. We are working with the police, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Fire service, LASAMBUS and the Lagos State Waste Management Agency (LAWMA). All of them are onboard and people are not going to see Oba Akran on Monday in a dirty state,” Akinsola said.
She expressed optimism that the event will witness an overflow of people of diverse cultures from all over the State engaged in merrymaking to usher in the Yuletide season.
"That was how it was done on the Island and this year we are bringing it to the mainland and of course next year, we would be looking at another location because the aim of government is to take this carnival all around Lagos,” she added.
She reiterated that through project T.H.E.S.E which stands for Tourism, Hospitality, Entertainment and Arts and Sports to achieve Excellence, the State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode is committed to repositioning
the State and ensure excellence in the true sense of the word. While urging everyone to participate and enjoy the entertaining activities lined up for the carnival, the Special Adviser said: "the carnival is not only just for adults alone, the children will have their own corner where they can have fun.” The carnival which has a line-up of artists including Olamide, Lil Kesh, Queen Salawa Abeni, Malaika and Tope Sax amongst others will start from noon until midnight on Sunday.

Ambode boasts of two years achievements without increasing taxes
AgegePulse magazine
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode said that his administration would take necessary steps to eliminate any incidence of multiple taxation in the State, especially at the local government level.
The Governor, said the tax system in the State must be presented in such a way that would be clear to all and sundry.
He, therefore, tasked Professor Sanni to use his tenure in office to address issues relating to multiple taxation, noting that his administration was able to achieve the level of infrastructural development in the last two years without necessarily increasing taxes.
“You know the citizens believe strongly that the way and manner we structure our tax system is done in such instance that we are doing multiple taxation within the local government and the State. That’s one aspect that we think that we can create some kind of partnership to be able to say that in no distance future that nothing exists in Lagos that relates to multiple taxation. I would like that aspect to be something of interest in the course of your research.
“In the last two years, we have seen the level of infrastructural development that we have put in place without necessarily increasing the taxes or levying citizens to pay more taxes. You have seen development taking place in the midst of recession.
“The only way to sustain this growth will be coming from the aspect of how we can sustain the revenue model that Lagos State can use to drive this growth and development in the State”, Governor Ambode said.
The Governor also said that there was a need to grow the financial template of the State.
Lagos could take to secure the next 50 years.
