He said: “I am happy with his vision and the steps he has taken so far are in the right direction and in the interest of the people.
“This retreat is also timely for us all to put heads together and plan well for the year 2026 for the good of our people in the community. I call on the chairman, Ganiyu Obasa, to keep up the good job while I enjoin all stakeholders in Agege to give him maximum support.”
He also urged the entire management team to keep up the good work, referencing budget, particularly the 2026 budget as a critical, important practice which will determine the feasibility and effectiveness of government plans.

The immediate past chairman J.S. Babatunde, in his remarks, stressed the importance of budget creation and presentation.
“The children of the people you refused to train and care about are those that later cause unrest and sleepless nights for your children,” Babatunde noted.
Ganiyu Obassa assured all participants that there were so much work on the cards for the management team to change the face of the community in the months ahead.
“What we are seeing now are just the starting point and we are well-focused to do much more. That is why this retreat is very important to project into the New Year,” he said.
