Ibeju-Lekki Local Government has held its Town Hall and 2027 Budget Consultative Forum, providing a platform for residents and stakeholders to contribute to the council’s development plans and priorities for the coming fiscal year.
The programme, held at the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Secretariat, Igando-Oloja, was preceded by the commissioning of a newly completed health centre, further highlighting the council’s commitment to improving access to healthcare and delivering people-oriented infrastructure.
As part of the activities, residents also received ATM cards loaded with ₦50,000 each to support their businesses, strengthen their livelihoods, and improve their economic well-being. The intervention was aimed at providing financial assistance to beneficiaries to expand their businesses and enhance household income.
Speaking at the event, the Executive Chairman of Ibeju-Lekki Local Government, Hon. (Engr.) Abdullahi Sesa Olowa, said the initiatives reflect his administration’s commitment to inclusive development and improving the welfare of residents.
The consultative forum also provided an opportunity for community members, traditional leaders, stakeholders, and other residents to present their needs and make contributions towards the 2027 budget, with the aim of ensuring that future projects and programmes are responsive to the development priorities of communities across Ibeju-Lekki.
