A promise made is one thing; a promise delivered is another.
When Honourable Seyi Jakande assumed office as Executive Chairman of Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA on July 29, 2025, he presented a clear roadmap for development the HEWA Agenda. Today, just 100 days later, that blueprint has translated into visible progress across the LCDA. Streets are brighter, schools are energized, health facilities are strengthened, and community life is improving not through rhetoric, but through action. HEWA, an acronym for Health & Environmental Sustainability, Education & Empowerment, Works & Security, and Agriculture/ Tourism/ Culture, was designed as a holistic model for local governance. Each of the four pillars now stands reinforced by measurable achievements that reflect the chairman’s commitment to development with impact.
H — HEALTH & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Building a healthy, resilient community The administration focused first on strengthening the health sector — the foundation of community well-being. Some of the achievements here are: Full reconstruction of the Kayode Primary Health Centre, Onipanu Re-equipping of five additional primary health centres Introduction of free healthcare services across all LCDA PHCs Free community medical outreach in partnership with Eko Club Atlanta, treating over 1,000 residents. To ensure access to clean water, the LCDA also embarked on aggressive borehole sinking and rehabilitation across wards, including Agowu, Amodu, Akinboro, Oseni, Adeleye High School and more, alongside the provision of a 20KVA Mikano generator to support power supply.
E — EDUCATION & EMPOWERMENT Investing in minds, reducing financial burdens, building the future This pillar has seen the highest level of activity as Jakande’s belief in education as the greatest equalizer drives bold interventions. 1. Free GCE Registration for 250 indigent students 2. Summer Tech Bootcamp — ICT empowerment for 600 young people 3. “Back to School, Back to Pocket” Initiative — school bags & stationery for all public primary school pupils 4. Free school transportation to promote attendance and safety 5. Spelling Bee Competition to encourage literacy and academic excellence 6. Solar Charging Stations across 9 wards to support digital learning 7. Empowerment of 28 school food vendors and 3 supervisors to support the local economy
Youth & Sports Construction of a Five-A-Side Football Pitch at Nusara-ul-Deen Primary School, boosting youth engagement and sports Chairman’s Cup Season, SJ Football Championship, Ikeja DFA Women’s League The flagship JAKO Jollof School Feeding Programme remains the hallmark of empowerment through education , boosting school enrollment, attendance, and concentration.
W — WORKS & SECURITY Infrastructure that supports movement, commerce, and safety The administration combined physical development with job creation and institutional strengthening. Solar-powered streetlights & CCTV cameras installed at Ogunmokun Bridge — a major security boost One Day Chairman Program grooming future leaders through civic participation Recruitment of new civil servants, enhancing institutional capacity Road & Drainage construction/rehabilitation across streets including: Adegboyega, Adelakun, Ibadan, Adedoja, Adewusi, Ashaoku, Ladipo Sode, Akala, Muibi, Omotayo, Damengoro, Igbarere, Arolahun, among others. Drainage Desilting completed on several key streets to address flooding and improve the environmental ecosystem.
A — AGRICULTURE, TOURISM & CULTURE Creating engagement, promoting heritage, stimulating local economy Participation in World Food Day Celebration of Isese Day to preserve cultural heritage Engagement with traditional institutions — Obas in Council and Baales These projects reflect an agenda that extends beyond agriculture into sports, tourism, recreation, and cultural identity. Promises Delivered. Foundations Laid. Momentum Sustained. In just 100 days, Hon Jakande has shifted Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA from planning to performance. The HEWA Agenda is no longer a manifesto; it is now a living system of reforms visible in renovated classrooms, illuminated streets, empowered youths, and revitalized health facilities.
