From Darkness to Light: How Agbede Street Became a Beacon of Progress in Ejigbo
As dusk falls over Ejigbo, the once-dark stretch of Agbede Street now gleams with the soft glow of newly powered streetlights. Children laugh and play under the warm light, traders extend their business hours without fear, and residents walk home with renewed confidence. What was once a dimly lit path has become a symbol of hope, safety, and progress.
This transformation did not happen by chance — it is the result of the purposeful leadership of Aare Taoheed Adebayo Taiwo, the Executive Chairman of Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), whose commitment to community development continues to illuminate both streets and hearts.
For years, Agbede residents had endured nights of uncertainty — walking cautiously through dark roads, businesses closing early, and fears of insecurity rising with every sunset. But today, that narrative has changed. With the installation of streetlights, visibility has improved, security concerns have lessened, and community life has been reenergized.
“This light means more than electricity; it means safety and opportunity,” shared one grateful resident, smiling as she watched her children play outside after dark. “We feel seen and cared for by our local government.”
Under Aare Taiwo’s administration, Ejigbo LCDA has witnessed several people-focused interventions — from road rehabilitation to market upgrades, youth empowerment programs, and consistent efforts to enhance the living standards of residents. The newly lit Agbede Street is yet another testament to his administration’s proactive approach to governance and sustainable development.
Community members describe the project as “a light of hope”, proving that local governance, when driven by sincerity and vision, can directly touch lives where it matters most — at the grassroots.
As the streetlights of Agbede now beam into the night, they reflect not just brightness on the road but the glow of a leadership that listens, cares, and acts. The people of Ejigbo LCDA have every reason to celebrate — for with light comes safety, progress, and renewed faith in the power of good governance.
Ejigbo shines brighter — and so does the promise of its future.
