Chairman of Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA,Hon. Rasaq Olusola Ajala, graced the event as the special guest, using the platform to remind LASCCWA members of their vital role in fostering good governance. He emphasized the need for perseverance, innovative ideas, and collective support, encouraging the Chairpersons to stand firmly by their husbands in fulfilling their mandates to the people.
“Behind every successful leader is a strong support system. LASCCWA’s work goes beyond charity—it is about sustaining the trust people have placed in their leaders,” Ajala said.
The highlight of the program was the series of empowerment initiatives aimed at boosting economic independence and skill development for residents. Mrs. Bamigboye presented sewing machines and cash grants to beneficiaries, while Mrs. Ajala distributed Home Economics equipment, additional cash support, and items for special needs schools — a thoughtful move reflecting the association’s inclusivity and compassion.

“Our work is far from over. We need all hands on deck to build a stronger, more empowered community,” she noted.
The LASCCWA empowerment program not only showcased the dedication of Mushin LG and Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA to community growth but also reinforced the power of strategic collaboration between leadership and public engagement.
With initiatives like this, the association is proving that leadership is not just about holding office—it’s about creating impact, fostering inclusivity, and ensuring that promises made to the people translate into meaningful actions.
