In recognition of Somolu’s evolution into a thriving business hub, Hon. Abdul Hamed Salawu, the Executive Chairman of Somolu Local Government, applauded residents and youths for their calmness and orderliness amid recent nationwide protests.
Salawu, affectionately known as Dullar, highlighted how Somolu’s refusal to succumb to unrest has reinforced its reputation as a world-class community.
During a tour of significant ongoing projects, including the new Somolu Local Government Administrative Complex, Legislative Complex, Fire Service Station, and Bashua Police Station, Salawu emphasized the importance of peace in driving development.
“Your dedication to safeguarding our community from toxic external forces ensures that Somolu continues to thrive,” he stated
Salawu attributed much of Somolu’s progress to the exceptional leadership of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu. “Governor Sanwo-Olu’s visionary approach to security and infrastructure has laid the foundation for a prosperous business environment in Somolu,” he submitted
Expressing confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, Salawu praised the recent cancellation of import duties on all food items, a decision he believes will significantly boost the economy.
The Chairman also lauded the efforts of security agencies and volunteer youths in protecting both government and private properties. He urged all residents to remain vigilant. “Our collective vigilance is crucial in maintaining a resilient and prosperous community,” Salawu concluded.
