“Our vision remains the same as declared in my manifesto, to make our environment a clean, secure, and prosperous LCDA, and also to make it one of the business hubs to reckon with.”
He also restated the mission statement of his administration, saying, “It is equally true that our mission remains on track: pursue increased community cohesion and civic identity through participation in social, political and cultural spheres, provide adequate safety and effective security of lives and properties, and propagate human rights protection and sustainable development.
“I remain totally committed to serving you as we join hands together to achieve our mission for our LCDA.
“I have also been driven by the promises I made during my inauguration, where I promised to run a government of inclusion where no one is left behind. You remember I reiterated that no matter your age, sex, tribe or status, as long as you reside in Egbe-Idimu LCDA, my administration would make everything work for you.
“I call on both young and old, once again, to join me in that dream and vision where hard work and diligence will lead to great rewards for all of us.”
KSO also stated the achievements of his administration in the last 730 days.
“Despite the paucity of funds and also one of the poorest LCDAs, we've been able to put some things in order so as to make life much easier for our people. Some of the scorecards of KSO led administration include fixing about 20 roads across all five wards, empowerment/skills acquisition programmes, adequate staff welfare/total beautification of all the offices so as to make the work more comfortable and easier for all the staff, regular peace and security meetings, smooth relationship between the government and CDAs/CDC, annual fiesta for children with numerous gift items, prompt medical attention and series of medical outreach, and zero tolerance for waste, among others."
He added that in the coming year, his administration will build and rehabilitate more roads, ignite entertainment potentials, and provide maximum attention to the yearnings of the people, including dealing with the issues of the elderly, widows, the youth, and the people living with disabilities.
