Sanwo-Olu To Turn Campaign Offices To Citizens’ Consultative Centres
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has unveiled plans to turn offices dedicated to his campaign during the electioneering period into Citizens Consultative Centres.
The move, according to Peter Ajayi, Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Political Matters, is aimed towards bringing his government even closer to the people.
Said to be four and located in the 3 Senatorial Districts ( Lagos West, Lagos East and Lagos Central), Governor Sanwo-Olu will turn the independent campaign group offices to consultative offices where citizens of the state could submit any of their policy input and demands that would help in achieving the developmental agenda of his administration.
While inspecting the various offices in the state, Ajayi stated that the essence of the visitation was to assess the state of things in the campaign offices, saying that the Governor is keen in making his policies to have people’s input.
He added that the decision to turn the campaign offices to consultative centres was to galvanize input from the general public into the policy process of his government.
“These centres will serve as offices where Lagosians can come to submit letters of policy demand and also meet to delibrate issues of public importance. In this wise, the citizens would have sense of belonging in the government and also get to know what the government is really doing in ensuring the greatest happiness in the greatest number of people,” Ajayi said.
He added that each local government and Local Council Development Areas (LCDA) would have an office in the centre with one representative each.
“It is at the centres that the distribution of welfare packages to the people during festive periods will take place and this will ease the stress of them coming to Government House which had been the norm,” he added.
