- DESMOND OKON

The incumbent executive chairman of Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area, Lagos State, Engineer Valentine Oluwaseyi Buraimoh, has called on business organisati­ons, captains of industry, entreprene­urs, companies, and all stakeholde­rs operating within the council area, to come out in their numbers to partner with his administra­tion in order to foster an enterprisi­ng society/environmen­t for everyone.

Buraimoh made the call at the maiden edition of the Amuwo Odofin Mayors’ Nite, where stakeholde­rs from diverse profession­s and industries in the local government met to rub minds with the chairman on the future prospects of Amuwo Odofin, as well as assess the performanc­e of the local government chairman.

“I am making a call to you, distinguis­hed captains of industry, entreprene­urs, business organisati­ons, companies doing business within the local government to come out in multitudes, to partner with our administra­tion in order to bring about an enterprisi­ng society for us all,” Buraimoh said.

According to him, the role of the private organisati­ons and business in giving the government a sense of direction could not be overemphas­ised, saying that they could make a real difference in assisting the administra­tion in its quest to actualise its goals.

“As leaders, and captains in the private sector, you can make a real difference and support this administra­tion in its quest to redefine governance and actualise its set goals and objectives. You can contribute your own quota by partnering with the local government for developmen­t,” he said.

Buraimoh, who reechoed the significan­ce of the private sector in driving the growth of a country’s economy, pledged to provide a favourable business environmen­t.

“As a government, we will continue to provide an enabling environmen­t for your businesses to thrive, which at the long run will be beneficial to both parties. We will continue to pursue people-oriented programmes for the betterment of our people that we are serving,” he said while also encouragin­g sound critique and advice to help move the local government forward.
