Lagos State Government has emphasised that the accommodating spirit and hospitality of Lagosians, which breed unity and cohesion among various ethnic groups with different religious and political persuasions, are the bedrock for peace and progress of Lagos State.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode stated this at the commissioning and dedication of Ozubulu Community Development Union Civic Center, Festac built by the Ozubulu Community Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State resident in Lagos.

Ambode, represented at the event by the Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Mr. Benjamin Olabinjo, said the commissioning of the project would serve as a rallying point for interaction among members of the host community and enhance community relations.

He expressed his appreciation to the people for supporting the government and abiding by the Laws promulgated to enhance the socioeconomic opportunities that abound in the State.

The Governor, however, implored the Union to undertake their civic responsibilities by voluntarily paying all taxes and levies as the government relies primarily on taxation to raise funds for the implementation of policies and programmes that benefit the members of the public.

While urging the Ozubulu Development Union to protect all infrastructure that was provided with taxpayers’ funds from vandalism and continue to live in peace with other residents, he assured that the present administration would continue its all-inclusive policy which was the hallmark of the mandate to serve.
