Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has named the new building housing the Apapa-Iganmu Local Council Development Area of the state after the All Progressives Congress national leader, Bola Tinubu.
He also opened the Agboyi-Ketu LCDA building and named it after the late Senator of Lagos East Senatorial District, Adebayo Osinowo.
A statement signed by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, quoted him as saying that the recent #EndSARS protests brought out the need for the government “to double their efforts and prioritise youth development and empowerment.”
The statement noted that the governor inaugurated each of the three-storey buildings in separate ceremonies held in the two councils’ headquarters with a warning to the youths to desist from destruction of government’s assets built with public funds.

“It is important to emphasise the need for all of us to understand that public infrastructure is part of our commonwealth being provided with public funds. We must safeguard them against vandalism, as witnessed in the state a couple of weeks ago,” he stated.
Sanwo-Olu posited that the decision of the council leadership in Agboyi-Ketu to name the new building after the late Senator was a testament to his contributions to the development of the council.
The statement further disclosed that in addition to inaugurating the Apapa-Iganmu secretariat complex named after Tinubu, the governor opened 13 newly constructed and rehabilitated roads, a library complex and Primary Health Centre delivered by the council chairman, Dr. Funmilayo Akande-Mohammed.
