The short but glamorous induction ceremony, which was conducted at the chairman's office, had in attendance ranking members of the institute, the Vice chairman, councillors led by the Leader of the House, SLG, Chief of Staff and cabinet members of the local government.
According to the Registrar, the profile of Oshodi-Isolo local government chairman, his achievements thus far, his personal life and his unique leadership attributes of empowering the youths, particularly in politics, are the critical areas that were evaluated and tendered to the Board for perusal and approval.
He further disclosed that the approval of the board came after various levels of screenings and evaluation, hence the induction.He urged the council boss to continue in his habit of empowering people, particularly the youths, because there is no limit to what they can achieve.
Dr. Olabintan, a Senior Researcher from the institute, while reading the citation of the chairman appreciated all his philanthropic gestures even before becoming the chairman. He urged him to continue with such noble gesture.
Otunba Oloyede, while receiving the certificate and the plaque, expressed his appreciation to the board of the institute for finding him worthy of being inducted. He noted that he is particularly happy because it shows that people and institutions outside the domain of Oshodi are monitoring what his administration is doing. He dedicated the award to the good people of Oshodi and said it would be a morale booster to do even more.
He said; " I am happy about this investiture. I appreciate the board of the institute for finding me worthy and I equally appreciate our people for their support and trust in us. This is a further call to serve and we take it with every sense of responsibility. I shall not bring the name of your institute to a disrepute and I shall continue in the noble journey of serving our dear people."
