 He thanked the  benefitting communities who trooped out in large numbers to express joy over the locations of the projects and advised the Council to ensure due diligence in handling the projects.

According to the Commissioner, the Ministry was not in any position to dictate to any Council choices of their projects, but explained that monitoring the projects to ascertain full compliance with extant laws and procedures was among the cabinet responsibilities of the Ministry.

Earlier in his remarks, the Executive Chairman disclosed that the decision to comprehensively face lift the Council Sectariat and the Legislative Chamber were to ensure a conducive environment for the workers.

He thanked the  Commissioner and his team for the inspection and their valuable advice towards the smooth running of their affairs.

Hon. Akanbi further disclosed that the projects embarked upon were carefully selected based on availability of funds, urging other communities with similar requests to exercise patience as they would be attended to in earnest.

The Chairman explained that the projects were evenly distributed across all the eleven political wards of the Council with the counsellors playing vital roles in the choice of the projects in their respective constituents.

In her contribution, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mrs Iyabo Modupe Adekeye appreciated the Chairman for the provision of an enabling environment for civil servants to carry out their day to day activities.

She, however, implored the workers to double their efforts as the present administration expects more from them, admonishing the career technocrats to ensure they give the political class the much needed advice, especially on the extant laws guiding procurement processes.
