Saturday, November 22, 2025
Members of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye Local Branch, led by the Branch Coordinator, Comrade Okeyale Zakaria, today joined the Executive Chairman of Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA, Honourable Seyi Jakande (HEWA) , for the popular fitness walk tagged “Steps for Sustainability”.
The energetic walk, which has entered its fourth consecutive season, commenced promptly at 7:00 AM from the Council Secretariat along Coker Road, ilupeju, with hundreds of residents, youth leaders, political stakeholders, and council officials in attendance.
Speaking during the flag-off, Comrade Okeyale Zakaria praised Hon. Seyi Jakande for sustaining the fitness programme despite challenges, noting that it reflects the Chairman’s deep commitment to promoting healthy living and community unity. He charged participants to display true sportsmanship, maintain peace, and actively engage so that the goals of fitness, bonding, and sustainable development can be achieved.
While the fitness walk is on going, the NYCN members and other participants joined the Chairman on a guided tour of several transformational projects executed within his first 100 days in office. Among the projects inspected were:
- Extensive rehabilitation and construction of several roads across the LCDA, improving accessibility and easing transportation for residents.
- Construction of a modern Primary Healthcare Centre equipped to deliver quality and affordable healthcare services to the people.
- Ongoing development of a Mini Sports Stadium designed specifically for the youth, providing a safe space for sports, recreation, and talent development.
These projects, among many others, are clear demonstrations of Hon. Seyi Jakande’s people-centred HEWA Agenda – Healthy Living, Empowerment, Welfare, and Accountability with the ultimate goal of service to the people and prosperity for all.
The youth coordinator described the projects as “a new dawn for Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye”, emphasizing that the Chairman is deliberately investing in infrastructure that directly benefits the youth and the larger community.
