The Hungon gborosun Youth Forum has issued a strong demand to the Chairman of Badagry Local Government, Hon. Segun Adeniran Onilude, urging him to visit and complete an abandoned toilet project at Anglican Primary School 1, Igborosun, before his tenure expires in 11 days.
In an open letter addressed to the chairman, the forum’s president, Comrade Abiodun Semasa Emmanuel, expressed frustration over the stalled project, which was meant to be completed in June 2024 but remains unfinished.
The project, titled "Construction of Modern Toilet at Anglican Primary School 1, Igborosun," was initiated to improve hygiene conditions for students. However, its abandonment has left pupils without proper sanitation facilities, negatively impacting their health and learning environment.
“This project is vital for our community,” the letter stated. “We appeal to you, Honorable Chairman, to intervene and ensure its completion for the benefit of our children.”
A concerned resident lamented that despite generating significant revenue for the local government, Ward I (covering Igborosun, Ikoga, Iragon, Iragbo, and Javie) has been largely neglected.
“In eight years, the only project initiated in our area was this toilet, and even that was abandoned,” the resident said. “Other parts of Badagry got roads and health facilities, but we have nothing not even a tiered road.”
With local government elections scheduled for July 12, 2025, Onilude has barely 11 days left in office. The youth forum insists that completing the project should be a priority before his administration winds down.
“We believe in your leadership and urge you to act swiftly,” the letter concluded.
As pressure mounts, the community waits to see if the chairman will address their plea or leave another unfulfilled promise behind.
