 The Lagos State Governor, Baba Jidesan Walu, has called on all community development areas to join hands with his government to ensure the safety of the people, especially at this festive season. Also, the Lagos State Government says it will continue to consolidate on all ongoing developments in various communities in the state. Governor Baba Jidesan Walu stated these at the grand finale of the 2021 Community Day celebration. The theme was consolidating the ongoing developments in our various communities. It was organised by the Lagos State Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs held at the Police College in Kejap. Plus TV Africa Lagos State Government House Correspondent Love Ikuku Yedoko tells us more in this report. It was like a carnival. All the local government development associations turned out in their large numbers to raise the occasion. The Community Day celebration 2021 was to emphasise the necessity of development as a strategic factor for social economic development and empowerment at the grassroots. The Governor thanked the community development associations, which had over time increased to 4100. Sir Walu restated his commitment to collaborating with the communities at all times. Our administration, your administration, is people oriented. It takes this annual celebration very, very seriously and it provides us a unique opportunity to renew our commitments to ensure that our communities continue to be peaceful, they continue to be harmonious, and they continue to have a serene environment for all of you to grow, for businesses to thrive, and for our communities to continue to be the centrepiece of our administration. He appealed to them to join hands with his government to ensure safety of the people, especially this festive season. Community development is one of our primary goals for our administration and we cannot take it for granted. I urge you to use this opportunity again to see us 2021 celebration, to join hands with the administration to ensure that safety, security of our people, security of life and property is permanent and is critical to all of us.
