He expressed deep gratitude to residents for entrusting him with what he called a sacred mandate to lead with integrity, compassion, and a genuine commitment to progress.

In the area of infrastructure, he explained that the council intensified road rehabilitation efforts, cleared key drainage channels, and strengthened environmental sanitation measures to create cleaner and safer communities. A key highlight of the celebration was the official commissioning of a newly completed road, which Balogun described as a major step toward improving mobility, boosting local commerce, and easing daily movement for residents.

The chairman also pointed out reforms in governance and public service delivery, noting improvements in transparency, responsiveness, and direct engagement with community members. He assured residents that the council would continue operating an open-door policy while maintaining close relationships with Community Development Associations (CDAs) and other grassroots stakeholders to enhance inclusive development.
