Education and School Renovations
The council praised the chairman's focus on education, noting the renovation of dilapidated classroom blocks, construction of modern toilet facilities, repair of school fences, and distribution of writing materials and school bags to pupils. Additionally, the administration sponsored students through Free GCE and UTME registration programmes, expanding access to tertiary education for underprivileged youth.
Healthcare and Emergency Services
In the health sector, the NYCN acknowledged the provision of a standard ambulance to the Primary Health Centre in Okunola, the upgrading of the Opeki Primary Health Centre, and the establishment of sick bays in primary schools.
