Former Council Chairman of Ifako/Ijaiye LG, Hon. Demola Doherty
The former national Chairman of APC in the Scandinavia countries, Ayoola Lawal Odunewu joins his community, Ifako/Ijaiye Federal constituency in mourning the loss of a great party leader and former Chairman of the Ifako Ijaiye, Hon. Ademola Doherty, who left an indelible mark on the constituency through his leadership and dedication.
From November 2008 to October 2011, Hon. Ademola Doherty made noteworthy progress in enhancing education, healthcare, and infrastructure within the community.
His initiatives led to the creation of 36 new classrooms, addressing the problem of students having to sit on the floor, and he provided over 1,000 new chairs and desks for a better learning environment.
In terms of healthcare, he was instrumental in setting up a maternity centre and two public health centres, significantly improving access to medical services.
Infrastructure improvements under his leadership included the development of major road networks, which enhanced connectivity and stimulated economic growth in Ifako Ijaiye.
His educational vision also saw the construction of a new model primary school in Ajuwon and the successful transfer of a school from Ogun State to Lagos State, now a key educational institution in the area.
Even after his tenure as Chairman, the late Doherty remained committed to advocating for Ifako/Ijaiye and Ojokoro at the federal level.
Based on the record, he fought for fair distribution of federal projects and resources for Ifako Ijaiye. His efforts to support marginalized groups, such as widows, elders, and youths, showcased his compassion and dedication.
He also worked on establishing job centres and business hubs to engage youth, and supported education through constituency projects, emphasizing the transformative power of opportunity and knowledge.
"The impact of the late Demola Doherty is evident not only in the tangible improvements he brought about but also in the lives he touched and the hope he instilled in the community.
His efforts have paved the way for a brighter future for Ifako/Ijaiye, the former Secretary Committee of APC Diaspora Chairmen, Ayoola said.
As the community mourns, our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the late Demola Doherty. May they find comfort in the cherished memories of his remarkable life and enduring legacy.
