Bode Edun Foundation Launches Light-Up Oshodi Project

A foundation aimed at providing illumination in Oshodi area of Lagos has been launched by the Bode Edun Foundation.

This initiative called Light-Up Oshodi was done this week with support from its sponsors and partners. About 100 street lights were installed in the inner streets of the seven wards of Oshodi Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State.

Speaking during the commencement of the project, the founder, Bode Edun, disclosed that the foundation took it upon itself to help light-up the nook and crannies of Oshodi to help citizens at night.

“The importance of street lighting cannot be overemphasized’ Mr. Bode told journalists who were present at the first installation.

“It is on record that the provisions of street lights by the Lagos state government have helped curb the tide of armed and small robberies in Lagos.

“We are simply contributing our own quota as a non-profit organisation to the development of Oshodi/Isolo local government area,” an elated Edun said at the occasion.

The residence and elders of Simbi Street, Ijaye Street, Edun Street, Brown Street and other adjourning street where the installation has been completed expressed joy over the project.

The Chief Imam of Ijaye Mosque Alhaji Imam Wasiu Atonda, stated that “as a son of the soil, Bode recognizes our need in the area and always rises up to the occasion to help solve our problems, so I am not surprise his foundation is coming up with this project”.

The foundation promised to do more to alleviate the suffering of residents in Oshodi Isolo.
