AGBOYI-KETU, Lagos – The Lagos State Health Management Agency (LASHMA) has called on traditional rulers, political leaders, artisans, and all residents of Agboyi-Ketu LCDA to fully embrace the state’s health insurance scheme, Ilera Eko, as part of a renewed push for universal health coverage.



The appeal came during a stakeholders’ engagement meeting held yesterday, Thursday 30th April 2026, at the Agboyi-Ketu LCDA Multipurpose Hall. The event, convened by LASHMA, was led by the agency’s Permanent Secretary, Dr. Emmanuella Zamba, who was represented by Mr. Tosin Awosika.

“We are committed to achieving universal health coverage. That means every Lagos resident must have access to healthcare without financial hardship,” Awosika said, while calling for effective collaboration between LASHMA and the local council to drive the scheme’s success.



Other LASHMA officials, including Mrs. Adebukola Jayeoba, Area Coordinator, and Mrs. Bunmi Peters, Emergency Care Officer, detailed the benefit packages of the Social Health Insurance Scheme. Residents were assured of 24/7 customer service support to guide them on medical insurance services.



The Executive Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu LCDA, Hon. (Mrs.) Adetola Adunni Abubakar, who was unavoidably absent, was ably represented by the Vice Chairman, Hon. Yomi Ganiu Fatai. He praised LASHMA’s efforts and reaffirmed the council’s commitment to improving healthcare delivery.



“We will ensure our citizens have easier access to quality health services. I urge every stakeholder here to take it as a personal responsibility to sensitize families, friends, and communities on the benefits of Ilera Eko,” Hon. Fatai said.



The engagement ended with a warm reception for the LASHMA team, and responses from the Iyalode of Agboyi-Ketu, Chief Mrs Jemilat Busari Adenuga, the Iyaloja, Alhaja Shakirat Balogun and the CDC Chairman, Engr. Basiru Adewale Badejo, as the community leaders pledged continued mobilization and advocacy.

AGBOYI-KETU CHAIR LAUNCHES SECOND EDITION OF S.H.E INITIATIVE TO EMPOWER SCHOOLGIRLS.

In a continued push to support the health and dignity of young students, the Executive Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development Area, Hon. (Mrs.) Adetola Adunni Abubakar, presented the second edition of her flagship S.H.E (Safety and Hygiene Education) Programme, tagged "Flow With Confidence."

The event, which took place in the council area yesterday, March 5, 2026, saw Hon. Abubakar, who is widely regarded as a dedicated mentor and advocate for youth welfare, reaffirm her commitment to empowering the girl-child. True to the programme's theme, the initiative focused on providing both education and essential resources to tackle period poverty and promote personal hygiene.

As part of the event, cartons of sanitary pads and detergents were distributed to students from ten selected primary and secondary schools within the LCDA.

Beyond the distribution of the supplies, the Chairman used the platform to deliver a powerful message regarding the safety of young girls. Addressing the students directly, Hon. Abubakar took a firm stand against sexual molestation, harassment, and violence. She encouraged the students to break the culture of silence, urging them to report any incidents of abuse immediately to their teachers or the Department of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation (WAPA).

In a passionate pledge, Hon. Abubakar vowed to personally ensure justice for any victim. “I will be notified and will go all the way to prosecute any person that tampers with my girls,” she stated emphatically. “I encourage you to always speak up and report any case of molestation. Do not allow anyone to intimidate you. If anyone dares to harm you, they will have me to contend with.”

She assured the attendees that all reports would be taken seriously, thoroughly investigated, and that perpetrators would face the full weight of the law.

The event highlighted the council’s ongoing dedication to education and welfare. In addition to the immediate distribution, it was announced that the distribution of sanitary pads would now occur more frequently, ensuring that young girls can attend school with confidence without the barrier of menstrual hygiene challenges.

The Head of Department for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation (WAPA), Mrs. Oluwatoyin Adeyemi, delivered the vote of thanks, appreciating the Chairman’s visionary leadership. The ceremony concluded with closing prayers offered by Mr. Nojeem Enitan, the Director Admin and Human Resource Department.

AGBOYI-KETU CHAIRMAN LEADS INSPECTION TOUR, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO GRASSROOTS INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

In a bid to ensure quality control and transparency, the Executive Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. Adetola Adunni Abubakar, personally led the Councillors and management team on an extensive inspection tour of ongoing road construction projects across the district.

The high-level walk-through covered a network of critical arteries within the community, including Balogun-Ilawe Street, Dada-Aga Street, Ogunyinka Street, Adeyinka Street, Kawonise Street, Ali Close, and several other link roads. The visit provided the council leadership with a first-hand assessment of the progress and quality of work being delivered.

According to the Chairman, the exercise was more than a routine check; it was a strategic move to ensure that projects align with the council's core mandate of grassroots development. She described the visible progress as "a clear reflection of an administration that listens, acts, and delivers."

This hands-on supervisory approach underscores the administration's dedication to its 8-Point Agenda, with a specific focus on:
Infrastructure Renewal, which involves upgrading and modernizing the LCDA's road networks.
Environmental Sustainability which ensures projects incorporate proper drainage and waste management.
Economic Accessibility which has to do with Improving road networks to facilitate commerce and the seamless movement of goods and residents.
Improved Quality of Life, which is for delivering projects that have a direct, positive impact on the daily lives of the people.

"We remain committed to ensuring that every project meets the highest standards and directly impacts the daily lives of our residents," the Chairman stated.

During the inspection tour, the Executive Chairman issued a passionate appeal to residents, traders, and business owners along the corridor. She urged them to take collective ownership of the newly reconstructed roads by maintaining cleanliness and orderliness. “The government will build the infrastructure, but we need the community to protect it,” the Chairman stated.
She appealed directly to residents and business owners to partner with the Council by maintaining strict cleanliness and orderliness along the roads and drainage systems. The Chairman cautioned that infrastructure can deteriorate prematurely if drains are clogged with refuse or roads are misused. By keeping these spaces clean, the community ensures that the investment yields maximum value—providing safer, more durable roads that enhance the quality of life for everyone in Agboyi-Ketu.

The tour reaffirms the administration’s promise of deliberate and intentional governance, with a clear message to residents that Agboyi-Ketu is rising, street by street, project by project.
