His words: “We are here to assess the level of development in your community. As you know, we have rehabilitated your community healthcare centre. We have also constructed additional classrooms and rehabilitated many others. The next thing is to make your road motorable, and in two weeks’ time, construction will commence there.”
He also promised to fix their challenge of electricity and water supply with a view to improving their living conditions.
AbdulRazaq thanked the people of Lajiki and its environs for their support and urged them to vote massively for all the APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.
In his remarks, Alanugua of Lajiki, Alhaji Atanda, appreciated the Governor for the visit and for all the developmental projects executed in the community.
The community leader also thanked AbdulRazaq for considering their sons and daughters both for political appointments and elective positions, with particular reference to Dr Afees Abolore Alabi and Hon Jimoh Ali, who are newly nominated as Commissioners.
He therefore pledged his and the unalloyed support of his subjects for the administration, saying they are ready to vote for APC candidates in the 2027 polls.
