By Sultan Oluwaseunayofunmi 

📍 Ilara Kingdom, Epe Lagos 

In a bold and progressive move aimed at enhancing the beauty, structure, and identity of Ilara Kingdom, the youth leadership has officially announced the commencement of a major community development initiative — the construction of modern roundabouts at key junctions across the town, starting with the Chief Oluwalogbon Junction.

This initiative comes after thorough consultation and deliberation by community stakeholders, signaling a united front and shared vision for a more orderly and aesthetically appealing Ilara.

> "This is part of our broader vision to enhance the beauty, order, and image of our noble community," said Comrade Muideen Kazeem Sunday (SP), Ilara Youth Leader, in a message to all sons and daughters of Ilara, both at home and in the diaspora.

The project officially kicks off today, Thursday, 24th July 2025, marking the beginning of a transformational journey that is expected to redefine the physical outlook of Ilara and boost communal pride.

A Call for Unity and Support

The youth leadership is calling on all well-meaning individuals—indigenes, residents, and supporters alike—to actively participate in this historic project. Whether through financial contributions, material support, or voluntary services, every hand is needed on deck to ensure its success.

The roundabout project is more than just a structural upgrade; it is a symbol of collective vision, community spirit, and the desire for positive change. It reflects the readiness of the younger generation to take the lead in rebuilding and repositioning Ilara Kingdom for a better future.

Why This Project Matters

  • Improved Traffic Flow: Roundabouts will ease movement and reduce congestion at major junctions.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Beautified entry points reflect a town's character and pride.
  • Community Identity: Landmarks like these serve as symbols of growth and development.
  • Youth Leadership in Action: This initiative demonstrates what young people can achieve through collaboration, unity, and purpose.

Together, We Can Achieve Greatness

As the saying goes, “A community that builds together, grows together.” The roundabout project is only the beginning. It is a testament to what is possible when the spirit of unity prevails. The youth of Ilara Kingdom are not just dreaming of a better tomorrow—they are building it today.

To support or learn more about this project, please reach out to the Ilara Youth Leadership or follow updates on our official communication channels.

Let us join hands to build a greater, more attractive, and more organized Ilara Kingdom.

Political Shake-Up: Drama and Upsets at APC Lagos Council Primaries

Image
  By Sultan Oluwaseunayofunmi The recently concluded All Progressives Congress (APC) council election primaries in Lagos State delivered a mix of suspense, drama, and political upheaval. Held across the 57 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), the primaries saw no fewer than six incumbent council chairmen fail to secure a second term ticket—marking a significant shift in local party dynamics. In what many have described as a surprising outcome, four of the incumbents were unseated by a mix of former lawmakers and fresh faces within the party, some of whom were contesting for the first time. The results, collated at the party's state secretariat in ACME, Ikeja, showed these chairmen trailing behind their challengers—some finishing as low as third place. The biggest upsets occurred in: Ojo LGA, where Muibat Rufai ousted the sitting chairman Idowu Rasulu Onigbongbo LCDA, where Rakiat Hassan was defeated by Moyo Adebanjo Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA, where Ladi...

Outcry in Epe: Residents Demand Fairness Over Dual Toll Gates on Epe/Ijebu-Ode Expressway

Image
By Sultan Tensions are rising in Lagos State’s Epe Division as residents and stakeholders voice growing frustration over what they describe as unfair toll practices on the recently renovated Epe/Ijebu-Ode Expressway. The controversy centers around two toll gates situated on the same road—allegedly managed separately by the Lagos and Ogun State governments. The presence of both tolls, locals argue, amounts to double taxation and places an unnecessary financial burden on daily commuters. Currently, road users report paying between ₦1,000 and ₦2,000 per trip, depending on the size and type of vehicle. For farmers, traders, workers, and students who rely on this route daily, the charges are more than just inconvenient—they’re unsustainable. “This toll is a clear hardship on our people,” a community leader said during a recent town hall. “Why should people be punished for going to work or taking their goods to market?” In response, residents are proposing more reasonable fees: ₦200 for ...
