In a wave of commendations and accolades, Kakalistiq.com reports that Hon. Abdullahi Sesan Olowa, the Council Chairman of Ibeju-Lekki Local Government, stands tall as a beacon of exemplary leadership, recognized for his unwavering dedication to community development across various sectors.
The latest feather in his cap came in the form of the “BEST PERFORMANCE” award bestowed upon Ibeju-Lekki Local Government by the United Nations International Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF) in collaboration with the Lagos State Primary Health Care Board in March 2024. This accolade underscores Hon. Olowa’s relentless efforts in promoting routine immunization within the local government, setting a benchmark for governance excellence.
Further acclaim followed as the Community Service Project Students of the esteemed Pan-Atlantic University (PAU) honoured him with an award of honour for his remarkable strides in education development. His initiative, the STEM Education Weekly Lesson, aimed at enhancing science education among secondary school students, reflects his proactive stance in ensuring educational inclusivity and empowerment, particularly for indigent students amidst the burgeoning industrialization in the Ibeju-Lekki corridor.
Away from the accolades, his crusade for educational advancement can not be overstretched. Hon. Olowa, alongside Rep. Adebayo Balogun, Member of the House of Representatives, recently graced the official launch of a state-of-the-art, three-story academic building for Corona Day Secondary School. The ceremony, attended by prominent figures including Rt. Hon. Justice R.I.B Adebiyi and Alhaji Sulyman Bello of the Lekki Estates Residents and Stakeholders Association (LERSA), heralds a new era of academic excellence within the Corona Schools network.
In the realm of environmental sustainability, Hon. Olowa has been at the forefront of initiatives to combat indiscriminate waste disposal. However, he has embarked on a series of enforcement operations where culprits were prosecuted with community service sentences. His innovative approach includes the introduction of garbage collection tricycles and the mandatory use of waste bins in corporate offices and business areas along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Through awareness campaigns and sensitization exercises, he aims to foster a culture of responsible waste management and ensure a cleaner environment for residents of Ibeju-Lekki.
As accolades continue to pour in and roadmaps are devised to tackle environmental challenges, Hon. Abdullahi Sesan Olowa remains steadfast in his vision to transform Ibeju-Lekki into a model local government area, revered across Lagos State for its exemplary governance and sustainable development initiatives.
