In the heart of Lagos, a quiet revolution is unfolding, one marked by visionary leadership, bold strides in development, and an unwavering commitment to the welfare of the people. Under the stewardship of Otunba Kehinde Almaroof Oloyede, fondly known as Kendoo, Oshodi is undergoing a transformation that is not only visible but deeply felt across communities. Roads once riddled with potholes are now smooth and motorable, neglected schools have received a new lease on life, and health centres are being renovated and revived to reflect a new era of inclusivity and progress.
Kendoo’s leadership has become synonymous with purposeful governance and people-driven initiatives. From infrastructure renewal to robust empowerment programmes, every policy is rooted in the genuine desire to uplift lives. Market women, artisans, youth, and the elderly are all benefitting from well-structured interventions aimed at economic stability and social development through constant support of their respective businesses. In just a few years, his administration has turned what once seemed impossible into everyday realities: proving that good governance is not a myth.
What truly sets Kendoo apart is his passion for results and his relentless energy in driving change. His style of leadership is consultative yet decisive, humble yet bold. He listens to the concerns of the people, relates freely with them and acts on them with speed and sincerity. It is this attribute that earned him "Mr. Talk and Do." His government’s commitment to transparency and inclusiveness has renewed public trust in local governance, and Oshodi residents today take pride in the renewed dignity their community commands both within and outside Lagos.
A new Oshodi is indeed emerging, one that is cleaner, safer, more united, and full of promise. Streets once dark have been lit up, places once dreaded have been installed with CCTV cameras for improved security. With Kendoo at the helm, the dream of a modern, prosperous, and people-first local government is no longer a distant aspiration but a tangible, living experience. The future is not just bright; it is already unfolding before our eyes, and the people of Oshodi-Isolo are proudly marching forward, hand-in-hand with a leader who truly understands their hopes and needs.
