Continue with the spirit of honesty, truthfulness LASEMA charged
By Amechi Obiakpu
Members of the Ifako Ijaiye Estate Management Association (LASEMA) have been commended for their exemplary attitude of honesty and truthfulness in their operations even as they are charged to continue in the same spirit.
The call was made by Eng. Adekunle Olayinka, Special Adviser to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on works, at the end of the year party of Ifako Ijaiye LASEMA held recently at Nureni Yusuf Complex, Killington, Alagbado.
Olayinka, who was represented by Lekan Obayomi said the present development is a departure from what used to be the negative perception of Agents by members of the public before the advent of the current leadership of the body under the watchful eyes of its President, Prince Kolawole Esho.
According to Olayinka, “Prior to this time, many agents engage in shaddy practices by fleecing clients and house owners of their entitlements. But, that is no longer the case- thanks to the Kolawole Esho led leadership.”
He therefore called on the association to adhere strictly to the spirit of honesty, transparency and accountability in carrying out their day-to-day transactions.
”I want to implore members of Ifako Ijaiye LASEMA to be honest, transparent and be accountable in dealing with their clients in order to be able to gain their confidence,” he said.
In the same vein, Hon. Emmanuel Olotu, member Lagos State House of Assembly, who was represented by Felix Okocha, urged members to remain committed to the rules of engagement by being honest and truthful, saying”agency business is a lucrative one, if they can carry it on with integrity.”
In his welcome address, Kokawole Esho, who commended his members for their support and dedication to duty, promised to continue with the job of sanitizing the body so that there would be no room for quacks and crooks to operate in the profession.
Bola Amosu, who represented the Chairman of Ifako Ojokoro LGA, Idowu Tijanni, donated a sum of N100,000 to the body as directed by his boss, while commending members for their new approach to work under Esho.
SP Felix Lawal, Divisional Police Officer(DCO) Alakuko, called on members to always stand on truth.
“I am happy that I am here. All I know is that anybody who is truthful will do well, but I have not done any case-file concerning agents. I always settle the matters arising for them,” he said
While urging the agents to remain honest in their transactions, he urged them to be on agreement with whoever they transacting business with.
Alhaji Ade Akin, former President of the body thanked the invited guests for honouring the invitation extended to them before donating a sum of N20,000.
Other dignitaries at the event were Chief Mrs Nwokolo, Abuche, High Chief Ojewuyi and Igwe I.K Daunsi among others
Highlights of the event included presentation of Certificates to members and cash donation by invited guests.
