The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran has pledged N500,000 towards Abesan Estate Residents Association’s plan to erect the late Alhaji Lateef Jakande’s statue in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the estate.
Earlier, the President of the association, Chief Michael Kehinde, told the PDP candidate that the residents were facing security challenges because of numerous entries and exits in the estate. Speaking further, the estate president said that when the Ipaja road was bad and under construction, the state government diverted the traffic into the estate, which worsened the road conditions, but failed to repair the inner roads after the construction.
“We are putting across to you the security issue which is our major concern. We are also challenged with infrastructure decay in this estate. We need support for education also,” he said. He said that his vision was to truly make the state’s wealth work for all residents and reflect in their lives. Also, in an interactive session with traditional rulers and Akinogun Residents Association at Shagari Estate, Adediran promised to improve the physical infrastructure of the area when he emerged as the governor of the state.
