Hon. Olotu made this commitment during the assembly’s 10th Constituency Stakeholders’ meeting held on Thursday, 4th September, 2025 in Ijaiye/Ojokoro area of Lagos State.

The meeting, conducted simultaneously across the state’s 40 constituencies, has the theme “GOVERNANCE IN ACTION: The Gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda.”

Speaking to his constituents, Hon. Olotu underscored that legislators were elected to serve the interests of the people and not theirs.

Consequently, this year's theme has been carefully chosen to highlight the tangible benefits of governance particularly in alignment with the Renewed Hope Initiatives of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This reflects the strides we are making here in Lagos State and at the Lagos State House of Assembly in particular.

He noted, “We are representatives of the people. They voted for us to be their voice in the state. We must engage with them regularly, take their feedback, and report back on our activities.

The lawmaker explained that the annual stakeholders’ meeting provided a platform for legislators to brief constituents. 

At our last Stakeholders' meeting, we addressed the issues of food security and proffered practical solutions. Today, we continue in that tradition of accountability and engendering participatory governance.
