OLU OF AGBOYI, OBA MONSUR OLADEGA, ASSURES OF UNPRECEDENTED INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF AGBOYI.

*Hails Gov. Sanwo-Olu for Approving the construction of Agboyi Link Bridge

* Says His Ascension To The Throne is a New Dawn in Agboyi Kingdom

Barely a week after receiving his certificate and instrument of office from the Lagos State Government, the Olu of Agboyi Kingdom Oba Monsuru Abimbola Oladega has assured his subjects that his reign would continue to usher in unprecedented infrastructural Development just as he hailed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for approving the construction of Agboyi Link Bridge.

Oba Ladega made the statement at a press conference held at his palace on Friday where he spoke extensively on the spate of developmental projects going on in the Community, the release of his staff of Office by the Lagos State Government as well as the unity of the people of Agboyi Kingdom.
Speaking with newsmen, Oba Ladega expressed delight at receiving his certificate and instrument of office from the Lagos State Government 22 months after his approval as the monarch of the ancient town, noting that it was a great opportunity for him to continue with his good work.


He attributed the delay in the release of the Staff of office to a court motion filed by rival Royal family members in August 2020 which had dragged on before the case was dismissed in July 2022.
He disclosed that his ascension to the throne of Olu of Agboyi Kingdom in August 20 2020 had so far ushered in a new dawn in the areas of infrastructural development and social transformation which had never been witnessed in the annals of the town. 

Enumerating the projects, he said chief among them is the recent approval of Agboyi Link Bridge by the Lagos state Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu which he noted would open up Agboyi Kingdom to massive infrastructural development and economic investment.
Oba Ladega further stated that he had been able to use his cordial relationship and goodwill with the political class to attract other laudable projects to the community such as an ICT centre, Construction of a Secondary school, Standard Jetty, a Mini Market and a town hall.

According to Oba Monsuru Oladega, he persuaded the Lawmaker representing Kosofe Federal Constituency Hon. Prince Rotimi Agunsoye to bring a fully-equipped ICT centre to the community while he wrote a letter to the State Universal Basic Education Board ( SUBEB) to construct a secondary school also in the town.
He disclosed further that a public borehole water project embarked upon by the Agboyi-ketu LCDA would be commissioned while a mini market is also about to be constructed at the centre of the town.
Oba Ladega also said that a standard Jetty had commenced operation at Agboyi 3 while the federal government has promised to construct a Town Hall in the town.

"Since my installation as Olu of Agboyi Kingdom on August 20, 2020, I have achieved a lot but before my emergence, the Agboyi Kingdom level of development was zero.

" I successfully convinced Hon. Rotimi Agunsoye to bring an ICT which had been commissioned. A water project constructed by Agboyi Ketu LCDA has been completed and will be commissioned very soon.

"Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved the construction of Agboyi bridge, work will commence there very soon and it's going to bring a very good development to Agboyi":Oba Ladega enthused.

He, therefore, appealed to the people of Agboyi Kingdom to join hands together with him in his quest to propel the community to an enviable developmental level.

He said: " In Agboyi we should love one another and we should be united. Before I became King there were a lot of problems but things have changed and everybody has come together. What I stand for are cooperation, peace and unity.

"Owoyele is my father's family. That's where I came from. This is my mother's place. My priority is to unite the Owoyele family together with other families in Agboyi Kingdom. And I have done that, 95% is in support of my victory."

The Assistant Secretary of Owoyele family, Prince Ibrahim Kehinde Oladega, praised Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for approving the construction of Agboyi bridge while at the same time noting that the construction of the bridge was long overdue for an ancient town with rich history and which is very close to Lagos Island.

He narrated that the primary school in the community was built by the Christian Missionaries in 1856 while Oba Akintoye sought refuge for 5 days in Agboyi in 1845 when deposed by the British.

The radio presenter appealed to the aggrieved party to sheath their swords and work amicably with Oba Ladega for the betterment of Agboyi Kingdom.
