Speaking at the inauguration, Hon. Amb.

He noted that the facility would not only serve Odofin Oke but also benefit neighboring communities within the environs. He reaffirmed his commitment to executing more people-oriented projects across the local government.
He also used the opportunity to appeal to the Special Adviser on Works and Infrastructure to the Governor, Engr. Akeem Babatunde Adesina, who doubles as the Odofin of Orile-Imo, and to the Executive Chairman of Obafemi Owode LGA, to urgently intervene on the poor condition of the road leading into the community.
Hon. Amb. Ogunsola Lanre Adesina, FCPA, Executive Chairman of Obafemi Owode Local Government, lauded Hon. Ajayi for remembering his people at the grassroots. He urged other youths and political office holders to emulate the councillor’s selfless service. The Chairman assured residents of peace and unity, and promised that grading of roads across all communities in Orile-Imo would commence immediately after the rains subside.
Engr. Akeem Babatunde Adesina, Special Adviser on Works and Infrastructure to Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, MFR, who commissioned the borehole, praised Hon. Ajayi’s consistency and prayed for more resources to enable him to do more. He assured community members that their complaint regarding the access road would be prioritized by the state government.
High Chief Wasiu Ayinde, the Baale of Odofin Oke, also expressed gratitude on behalf of the community, noting that the borehole has restored hope and dignity to the residents.
