Today, I was deeply honoured to receive the Social Impact Award from the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO) as part of the celebration of COWLSO’s 25th Anniversary Conference in recognition of the work we are doing at the Lagos Water Corporation.
This award is not just a personal honour; it is a reflection of the collective effort of an incredible team that continues to ensure safe, sustainable, and inclusive access to water for every Lagosian.
It was also a privilege to collaborate with COWLSO on the rehabilitation of the Tajudeen Olusi Rehabilitation Centre for Girls, Ajah, where we installed a water treatment plant and storage system. That project remains a strong reminder of how access to clean water can directly advance girls’ empowerment and dignity.
I am profoundly grateful to Her Excellency, the First Lady of Lagos State and Chairperson of COWLSO, for this recognition and for her continued leadership in driving social impact, and to Mr. Governor, whose vision for a Greater Lagos continues to inspire our work.
At the Lagos Water Corporation, we remain committed to serving with innovation, inclusion, and integrity, building systems that create lasting impact for the people of Lagos.
Happy birthday, Mr. Seyi Tinubu.
Today, we celebrate not just your new age but your remarkable contributions to youth engagement, philanthropy, and progressive leadership across Nigeria…
*Happy birthday, Prince Tajudeen Olusì*
Today, we honour a towering statesman, a custodian of progressive ideals, and a source of principled leadership.

Today, on Nigeria’s Independence Day, I had the honor of unveiling the Mukhtaar Tijani Scholarship Programme, an initiative of the Mukhtaar Tijani Foundation.
50 outstanding students from public secondary schools on Lagos Island have been named MTT Scholars for the new academic year. Each scholar will receive a token stipend, alongside school uniforms, notebooks, textbooks, and other essential learning materials to support their journey.
This programme is more than financial support it is an investment in dreams and a commitment to building the next generation of leaders. With every scholar, we reaffirm that the future of our nation rests on the education of its children.
