President Tinubu not resting, committed to growth of Nigeria, says Aide, Khadijat Omotayo Kareem
The Personal Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Constituency Affairs, Khadijat Omotayo Kareem on Monday said the President is not resting in his commitment to see to the growth of Nigeria.
Khadijat said this at a Town Hall Meeting with “Critical Stakeholders” in Lagos State held at the premises of the Lagos State Television. She had held such meetings in many other constituencies spread over the country.
The meeting, according to her, was to provide room to deliberate on challenges facing constituencies across the country and report back to the President in order to find solutions to them.
Khadijat said the President understands the importance of building infrastructure in Lagos and other parts of the country as an important springboard for development in the country, particularly Lagos as the commercial centre of Nigeria while strongly expressing the Tinubu’s commitment to completing all ongoing federal projects in Lagos State.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is committed to addressing challenges facing Nigeria and Lagos State in particular.
“He promised to support projects that will enhance the quality of Lagosians as well as meet the needs of our constituencies,” she said.
She added: “The President is not resting because he wants to bring renewed hope to Nigerians.”
Khadijat assured stakeholders that every constituent in the country will get what they deserve and that their complaints will be reported back to the President.
The Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Lagos Chapter, Funmi Sesi, said the stakeholders’ meeting was necessary in order to build a relationship between the government and the people.
On issues concerning Lagos and the South West, Sesi said Lagos State should be given special status by the Federal Government.
She noted that Lagos State is home to Nigerians from all parts of the country, which has caused financial strains on the state in providing public infrastructure.
She told the Personal Assistant to inform President Tinubu to embark on a massive housing scheme in the south west, build more specialized hospitals in Lagos, handover abandoned federal government property in the state to the state government, establish a food bank in Lagos, invest in agriculture in the South West as well improve transportation system in Lagos
The President, Trade Union Congress, TUC, Lagos chapter, Gbenga Ekundayo, drew the attention of the Presidential Aide to some government policies that need further fine-tuning.
He noted that some economic policies of the President have cut down the purchasing power of Nigerians and appealed to the President to ‘slow down’ on his policies.
“The President should expedite actions on the Renewed Hope Housing Scheme. He should try and win the youth to his side using sports. The President should also look into the lifestyle of political appointees, which is sending the wrong signal to Nigerians,” Ekundayo said.
On her part, the Iyaloja of Computer Village, Ikeja, Bisola Azeez, who represented the Iyaloja-General, Folasade Tinubu-Ojo lamented the lack of access to loans by traders.
“Our challenge as traders is having access to loans to augment our working capital. The real people that need the loan don’t have access to federal government loans because of too many requirements. The federal government should fashion out means traders can get loans
An activist and founder, Coalition of Oodua Self-Determination Group, Rasaq Olokooba said the President should take quick action on the formation of state police.
“Our farmers can no longer go to farm because our farms are no longer secured. The security of Yoruba land is germane. There should also be special status for Lagos State because Lagos has the highest number of residents,” he said.
Other contributors expressed worries over attitudes of political appointees who abandon their constituencies after getting into office and relocate to other areas.
They urged the president to compel politicians to live within their constituencies for the benefit of their people.

Ajiran Youth Protest Over Deaths of Two Residents, Demand Justice
Ajiran Youth Protest Over Deaths of Two Residents, Demand Justice
The Ajiran community of Lagos State erupted in a powerful protest on Tuesday as local youths took to the streets to express their grief and anger over the tragic murders of Prince Ademola Akintoye and Sherrif Agboworin. The demonstration follows the recent decision to reopen the murder case, an investigation that has already led to the arrest of over nine suspects in connection with the heinous crimes committed more than a year ago.
Carrying vibrant banners and poignant posters featuring the faces of the deceased, the protesters marched through the heart of their community while singing somber dirges to honor their memory. With chants of unity and justice ringing in the air, they called on both the Lagos State Government and the Lagos State Police Command to ensure that those responsible are swiftly and decisively brought to justice.
The youth leaders emphasized that peace and normalcy will remain elusive in Ajiran until all those complicit in the killings are held accountable. They articulated that true justice is the only way to restore tranquility and honor the lives of Akintoye and Agboworin, whom they described as innocent victims of a grave injustice.
Speaking on behalf of the demonstrators, youth leader Mr. Kehinde Oladele urged law enforcement to conduct a thorough and fair investigation. He asserted that every individual involved including the nine arrested suspects must face the full extent of the law. Especially Hammed Tajudeen, the principal suspect mentioned by others in custody, whom they believe should not escape scrutiny.
“The reopening of this case after more than a year is a critical first step towards achieving justice and fairness for our brothers,” Oladele said. “We urge the police to get to the root of the matter. Those mentioned during the investigation, especially Hammed Tajudeen, should not be spared.”
The atmosphere in the community grew increasingly tense last week following speculation that prominent businessman Aare Bashir Olawale Fakorede was implicated in the unrest. The speculation appeared to stem from his alleged influence on the reopening of the murder investigation. This misunderstanding escalated when a group of protesters targeted his filling station in Ikate, vandalizing his properties and disrupting business operations in the gas station based on the false assumption that Fakorede was behind the police’s renewed inquiries.
In response to the rising tensions and misinformation, Fakorede’s spokesperson, Ola Muhammed, issued a comprehensive statement denying any connection between Fakorede and the unrest. The spokesperson emphasized that rumors suggesting the businessman orchestrated the revival of the murder case were completely unfounded.
“I feel it is crucial to clarify, for the sake of transparency and historical accuracy, that this entire ordeal is in no way related to me,” Fakorede stated. “I am also very interested to see that the culprits are brought to book. I categorically affirm that I have never been involved in any business dealings with Mr. Hammed Tajudeen.”
Fakorede further elaborated that the recent protests which led to the destruction of his property were reportedly instigated by Tajudeen and others who seem determined to manipulate the narrative and cast suspicion upon him. Fakorede expressed his own strong commitment to uncovering the truth surrounding the deaths.
As the police investigation progresses, it has become increasingly apparent that all accusing fingers are pointing to Hammed Tajudeen who is currently evading capture, adding another layer of complexity and urgency to the ongoing situation. Community members have questioned why he remains at large instead of submitting himself to the police for questioning if he is truly innocent of the allegations against him.
Community leaders are now emphasizing the need for dialogue to address the root causes of the unrest and work toward restoring harmony within Ajiran, even as the demand for justice remains at the forefront of public consciousness.
