Hon. Babatunde Diya, the Executive Chairman of Odogbolu Local Government, Area of Ogun State has marked his 100 days in office with a series of initiatives aimed at improving the lives of residents. The event, held at Mobalufon Hall Ground, was attended by royal fathers, party leaders, councillors, and other stakeholders.
Diya's administration has launched several healthcare initiatives, including the 'Iwosan Tunde' programme, which aims to screen 5,000 residents and enroll 2,000 in the Ogun State Health Insurance Scheme. The chairman has also facilitated partnerships with organizations such as the Alpine Care Group to revitalize public healthcare in the area.
In addition to healthcare, Diya's administration has focused on infrastructure development, including the renovation of the Odogbolu Central Mosque and the commissioning of a new borehole at Ikosa. The Waste-to-Wealth programme, facilitated by the Community Services & Global Vision Support Foundation, is another initiative aimed at improving the lives of residents.
The chairman in his speech declared that efforts are in top gear to continue the work started in the first 100days in office. He emphasized that his administration is committed to advancing the 'Iseya Mastra' plan of Prince Dapo Abiodun's led-administration. He noted that every citizen of Odogbolu now has access to quality healthcare delivery, among other key focuses of his administration.
According to him: "As I reflect on the past 100 days in office as the Executive Chairman of this council, I recall the promises we made during our campaign to improve the quality of life in our communities, address pressing issues, and build the Odogbolu Local Government of our dreams.
"Today, the council is in a strong position, one we can all be proud of. It is indeed a secure environment with the promise of a brighter future for our children and the generations to come." He said.

The Dagburewe of Idowa, HRH Oba Sikiru Kayode Adefuwape, commended Diya's efforts and initiatives, urging him to strengthen implementation structures to ensure that healthcare initiatives extend beyond primary and secondary levels.
Hon. Dennis Ogunnaike, the Special Assistant on Youth Development and Technology Innovation, while speaking with journalists, praised Diya's innovative leadership style, noting that he has actively engaged with stakeholders to identify and tackle local challenges.
"When the local government chairman assumed office, he set up a team to assess all 15 wards, identifying gaps and urgent areas in need of attention. This led to the launch of several healthcare initiatives in alignment with Prince Dapo Abiodun’s Iseya Mastra plan," he said.
With these milestones achieved in just 100 days, residents look forward to continued development under Diya's leadership.
