A retired Permanent Secretary in the Lagos State Government and incumbent Chairman of Ikorodu Oga Development Association, IKODASS, Otunba Lamidi Gbadamosi, has called on all Lagosians to support the on-going clamour for the creation of Lagoon State out of the present Lagos State.

Addressing representatives of the various social clubs, professional associations and ethnic groups in Ikorodu Division, who paid him courtesy call at the IKODASS Secretariat, as part of the preparations for the forth-coming Oga Day Celebrations, Gbadamosi stressed that only the creation of Lagoon State could bring about even development to all areas of Lagos State,.

“Creating Lagoon State would reduce conges- tion in Ikorodu and other major  towns in Lagos while the proposed state would guarantee the release of allocation from the commonwealth for the development of all the rural areas.
