In a show of solidarity and support, women leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the 16 wards of Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government paid a courtesy and congratulatory visit to the Executive Chairman, Hon. Lawal Adewale Wasiu, FCA, at the Council Secretariat on Tuesday.
Led by the Local Government APC Women Leader, Alhaja Waliat Ogunbiyi, the delegation commended the Chairman for his inclusive approach to leadership and reaffirmed their commitment to the success of his administration.
“We are here to felicitate with our Chairman and to assure him that the women of APC in Ado-Odo/Ota are solidly behind him,” said Alhaja Ogunbiyi. “Your leadership is a breath of fresh air, and we are confident that you will address the pressing needs of women across our local government.”

Noimot Salako-Oyedele FNSE, as a symbol of what women can achieve in leadership. He described her as a worthy role model for aspiring women leaders, especially within Awori land.
During the visit, Alhaja Ogunbiyi also presented concerns affecting women in the area, urging the local government to prioritize issues around community development, economic empowerment, and healthcare for women.
