Speaking at the project briefing in Iraye, Hon. Wale Raji acknowledged the people for turning out to receive him despite the festivities.
He disclosed that he had planned for the project to commence earlier but it was delayed due to logistics, adding that immediately the coast got clear, he insisted on immediate action.
“Iraye, being one of the fastest developing communities under Epe Federal Constituency requires much government attention to complement the fast development pace currently ongoing”
He thanked the party leaders, especially Hon. Wasiu Odeyemi (WASTAB), for his support and constant follow-up on pressing projects in Epe, particularly Eredo.
“I promise to establish more impactful projects which will be delivered to different parts of Epe Federal Constituency in the year 2022,” he assured.
“A good legislator shouldn’t only be active on the floor of the house but must also deploy his network, influence and resources to attract projects to his constituency,” he averred.
He, thereafter, introduced the contractor to the community leader of Iraye, Chief Moshood Anwoju and other leaders present. He urged him to effectively collaborate with the community leaders throughout the two months duration of the projects.
The legislator also hinted at the gathering of the construction of a science laboratory at Igbooye Community High School.
This, he said, will be simultaneously constructed since all logistic supports have been prepared to kick off both projects.
Reacting to this, the Executive Chairman of Eredo Local Council Development, Hon Monsuru Akinloye expressed his appreciations to Hon. Wale Raji for the quality representation exhibited.
He, therefore, urged him to ensure more developmental projects such as roads, rural electrification and other impactful projects are domiciled in Eredo LCDA in the new year.
Speaking on behalf of the Iraiye community, Chief Moshood Anwo (Baale Elect) admired Hon Wale Raji for the remarkable gesture both in the past and present.
