We, the foremost youth group in Ipokia Local Government under the leadership and members of Ipokia Local Government Youth Forum (IPYF); extend our heartfelt gratitude to you for your exceptional commitment to the development of our beloved Ipokia Local Government. The commissioning of numerous developmental projects under your leadership has brought significant progress and hope to our communities. Your dedication to the welfare of Ogun West Senatorial District is evident, and we are immensely proud of your contributions.
Majorly, the most recently commissioned projects across the length and breadth of Ipokia Local Government under your facilitation have demonstrated your passion for transforming our district and addressing the needs of the citizens. These initiatives have not only helped our people thrive but have also impacted the lives of our people positively.
Furthermore, your ongoing developmental revolution in our dear Local Government has opened our communities to prosperity and unprecedented developmental index. To this end, On behalf of the entire Ipokia Local Government indigenes and inhabitants, we say *”THANK YOU FOR COMING TO OUR AID SIR!”*
However, as we celebrate these achievements; human wants are said to be insatiable and unlimited. In line with this, we humbly want to bring to your attention; some pressing concerns and requests for further development in Ipokia Local Government as it affects our daily lives. Here are our requests:
• *CONSTRUCTION OF A LINK BRIDGE*: We request the construction of a bridge connecting Ipokia Local Government to Badagry in Lagos State. This bridge would facilitate seamless transportation, promote trade and foster stronger socio-economic ties between the two regions. Imperatively, it will enhance tourism that will metamorphose into economic prosperity for our dear Local Government.
• *OPENING OF ADDITIONAL FUELING STATIONS*: The removal of fuel subsidies has significantly increased the cost of petroleum products across the country but in Ipokia Local Government, we have been buying at outrageous and exorbitant prices due to insufficient supply. Heretofore, our people are still struggling with the aftermath of the Federal Government PMS supply suspension to border communities; hence, we urge you to facilitate the opening of more fueling stations within Ipokia Local Government to alleviate the financial burden on our people and ensure accessibility to PMS at fair prices with other parts of the country.
• *REVITALIZATION OF THE ABANDONED SITE FOR OGUN STATE POLYTECHNIC, IPOKIA*: The abandoned Ogun State Polytechnic in Ipokia has become a symbol of wasted potential and resources, as this site and the buildings on it is posing potential threats to us in the face of the growing insecurity in the country and our proximity to the border is a thing of concern. For this reason, we kindly request your intervention in reviving and operationalizing the institution, as it holds the promise of boosting education and economic activities in the area.
Your Excellency, your unwavering support and commitment to our region are deeply valued. We trust in your leadership and your ability to address these critical issues for the benefit of our people.
Once again, we thank you for your incredible developmental strides and look forward to your favourable consideration of our requests.
Yours faithfully,
Imoleayo Mawutin Deji
Chairman, Ipokia Local Government Youth Forum (IPYF)

General Secretary, Ipokia Local Government Youth Forum (IPYF)
