According to Rep. Babajimi Benson Chairman House Committee on Defense stated facts on the need to bring more developmental projects to Ikorodu federal constituency.


“A lot of federal constituency you see, have two or three constituencies and this three Local Government is smaller than Ikorodu federal constituency.”

“I believe there is still a lot to bring to the table, particularly when it comes to libraries, universities, there is still a lot to offer. Ikorodu is a very challenging federal constituency as a result of the uniqueness of its size.”

“Ikorodu also has one thousand CDAs. I have been to a constituency that only has a 100CDAs, I have been to a constituency where most of the roads are tiled, in Ikorodu,that doesn’t happen, every body wants democratic dividends,unfortunately the local government we have are also not getting the amount of funds they ought to be getting, you find out that some Local Government that have almost fifteen to sixteen percent infrastructure but still get allocations that is more than local governments without infrastructure at all.”

“There is injustice somewhere, we still need to go back to the drawing tables and rewrite the Local Government funding Local Government in Ikorodu should be getting what they deserve.”

“Those roads we are talking about, the state roads, some of them are Federal Government roads, which is not suppose to be, we still fix them so that Ikorodu federal constituency doesn’t lack behind. That also disturb my vision in doing greater bigger things because the little things are building up to the greater things.”

“If all the Local Government are connected, I believe there is still a lot to bring to the table particularly when it comes to health, investment will come in,health challenges will be minimal,the little things have to be fixed first before the big things, We still need bridges at the sabo area,ogolonto area, Imota rice mill has this will cut down travel time.”

“I believe there is still a lot to bring to the table particularly roads, schools, libraries The greatest benefit that come to Ikorodu federal constituency under my supervision is infrastructure, which I believe we will do more if elected for another term in office.
