I have implicit confidence in our ability as a people to grapple with the problem of nation building, This is why it is important that all hands must be on desk, more than ever before, so that we can succeed in our mission. The era of laziness and self ambition has gone. My mission is to implement all points set by the Action Congress of Nigeria through its manifesto and also to utilize all resources that shall be allocated to our local government area judiciously for the cause for which it has been provided.
My mission is to guides and directs future growth and development for Sagamu, ensuring orderly, economical and beneficial development while balancing the environmental, social and economic needs and desires of the community. It is visionary, strategic and long-term in its outlook and application. The mission plan reflects the kind of community residents wish to see in the future and identifies ways to achieve this future.
The plan is primarily a policy document that serves as a framework for the physical development of the community. It is a guide within which both public and private sector decision making and investment can occur. Not only does the Plan address land use and development it addresses matters related to the health of the environment, vitality of the local economy and social and cultural well-being of residents. In this regard the Plan recognizes the interrelationship between the use of space and physical patterns and the resulting social, environmental and economic implications.
