Ileri Eko: Hamzat outlines transport, education, healthcare priorities for Epe

Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, has outlined key development priorities for Epe, with improved transportation, education and healthcare featuring prominently in the Lagos Promise (Ileri Eko) agenda.

Speaking at the campaign flag-off rally in Epe, Hamzat thanked residents for their enthusiastic reception and participation, describing their support as encouraging.

He explained that the Lagos Promise was built around sustaining the progress already achieved while ensuring that more residents and communities benefit from government projects and programmes.

For Epe, he listed better transport connections, expanded waterways under the Omi-Eko project, improved schools, stronger healthcare services and wider economic opportunities among the areas requiring attention.

The deputy governor said the administration’s responsibility was to ensure that development reached every corner of Lagos, adding that no community should be excluded from the state’s growth plans.

He also emphasised that his commitment to Epe and other communities across Lagos went beyond campaign promises, maintaining that governance should produce visible improvements in people’s everyday experiences.

Citing the Yoruba saying, “Gbese ni ileri” (a promise is a debt), Hamzat said he recognised the responsibility that came with commitments made to residents and pledged to continue working towards their fulfilment.

He concluded by appreciating Epe residents for their welcome, support and confidence in the Lagos Promise initiative.
