Oba of Lagos, Riliwau Aremu Akiolu has tasked the Isale Eko Descendants’ Union (IDU) to work closely with the state government to facilitate development in the Isale Eko area of the state.
The respected monarch gave this in response to the union’s call for support when the leadership visited him recently.
The Chairman of IDU, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem (SAN) who led members of the newly inaugurated executive committee on a courtesy visit to Akiolu’s Iga Idunganran palace had pleaded with the monarch to support the union’s developmental programmes on education, urban regeneration, culture, and health.
Alongside the monarch, who is also the patron of the union, several white cap chiefs led by the Olori Oloye and Opeluwa of Lagos, Chief Lateef Ajose, equally attended the meeting.
In his remarks, Kazeem acknowledged Oba Akiolu for his leadership and sought his support for the union’s programmes on education, urban regeneration, culture and health.
Kazeem, also former Attorney-General of Lagos State, observed that Isale Eko was in dire need of attention as its roads were collapsing due to poor drainage, flooding and poor sanitation.
Welcoming IDU’s new executives to his palace, Akiolu advised them to work closely with the state and local governments as well as other stakeholders to address the poor sanitary conditions in the Isale Eko community.
Other members of the executive committee on the entourage include its Vice Chairman, Mr. Aderemi Bashua SAN; General Secretary, Prince Adewale Ojora; Assistant General Secretary, Mr. Dale Ajayi-Bembe; Welfare Secretary, Mr. Yomi Suenu and Chairman-designate of the IDU Culture Committee, Mr. Akinwale Irokosu.
