The Member representing Epe Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Abiodun Tobun, has provided insights into the recent issuance of Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) to 98 communities in Epe Division, while also addressing the persistent electricity challenges affecting residents across the area.
Eko Hot Blog reports that Tobun spoke during an exclusive interview where he discussed key developmental issues, government interventions, and matters affecting the socio-economic wellbeing of residents of Epe Constituency I.
A major focus of the interview was the recent approval and issuance of Certificates of Occupancy to 98 communities by the Lagos State Government, a development that has been widely welcomed by residents and community stakeholders across Epe Division.
Explaining the development, Tobun provided insight into the processes, consultations, and engagements that preceded the approval, describing the initiative as an important milestone in addressing longstanding land documentation challenges in the area.
According to the lawmaker, the issuance of the C of Os will provide greater security of tenure for property owners and communities while creating an enabling environment for investment and sustainable development.
He noted that proper land documentation would not only strengthen the legal recognition of property ownership but could also unlock the economic value of properties, encourage investment, and support infrastructural development within the benefiting communities.
Tobun further commended the Lagos State Government for taking steps towards resolving longstanding challenges surrounding land ownership and documentation, stressing that the development would have positive implications for the affected communities.
Another major issue addressed during the interview was the persistent challenge of epileptic power supply in several communities across Epe Division.
Responding to questions on the prolonged outages experienced by residents, Tobun acknowledged the concerns and explained that efforts were ongoing to address the situation.
The lawmaker noted that electricity supply had gradually returned to some affected communities, while technical and operational challenges were still being addressed in other areas.
He explained that government authorities, electricity distribution stakeholders, and community leaders were engaging on possible solutions to ensure that electricity supply is restored to communities still experiencing prolonged outages.
Tobun assured residents that the matter remained a priority and that relevant interventions were being pursued to improve electricity supply across the division.
He appealed to residents to remain patient and continue to cooperate with stakeholders working towards resolving the challenges, noting that sustained engagement would be necessary to achieve lasting improvement.
Beyond land documentation and electricity, the lawmaker used the interview to reaffirm his commitment to effective representation and community development.
He stressed the importance of maintaining communication with constituents, understanding their concerns, and engaging the appropriate authorities whenever issues requiring government intervention arise.
Tobun also emphasized that sustainable development requires collaboration among government, community leaders, residents, and other relevant stakeholders.
He reiterated his commitment to pursuing initiatives and policies that would positively impact the people of Epe Constituency I, while advocating for interventions that would improve infrastructure, economic opportunities, and the general welfare of residents.
The interview provided residents with an opportunity to gain further understanding of some of the major developments and challenges affecting the constituency, while also creating a platform for direct engagement with their representative.
Hon. Tobun reaffirmed his commitment to quality representation, responsive leadership, and continued engagement with constituents as efforts intensify towards addressing developmental challenges across Epe Division.
