Ogorugba while highlighting the ongoing efforts to consolidate both national and state-driven visions within the local governance structure, stated that “It is with great joy and a heart full of gratitude that I stand before you today to celebrate a day that holds immense significance in our hearts, Children’s Day, May 27, 2025.
