Following the recent appointments of new commissioners and Special Advisers in Lagos by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, another fine son of Ikodou Division, Dr. Frederick Oladeinde was named Commissioner of Transportation. This good news was welcomed by many observers in Ikorodu as they believe the appointment befits the man for his many years of experience in the field.
It was a thing of joy and celebration to family members, especially to his maternal side who are from the Solebo Family of Ikorodu. Dr. Oladeinde’s father who was a former chairman during the Oyinlola military administration in Lagos, was a well-known grassroots politician who has considerable influence in the division.
Though he hail from Ikorodu, Dr. Frederick Oladiende was not so close to people of his home town in Ikorodu as he kept off public activities and lead a private life. Before his political appointment, virtually nothing was known about him in Ikorodu division, since he mostly stayed at bay. In spite the fact that much cannot be said of him, political analysts believe the slot fell within Ikorodu division and on a competent hand. Those who appointed him have no doubt seen his competency as a technocrat with vast experience in LAMATA, since the time of Governor Babatunde Fashola.
Many from his constituency are hoping Dr. Frederick Oladeinde will use his good office and expertise to the benefit of Ikorodu and the entire Lagos State. During his swearing in ceremony as commissioner, his immediate family members, friends and associates stood by him. The event which was captured the photographs shows the massive support from his family members
We wish him a great career as an executive commissioner of Lagos State.
