“I heartily congratulate you on your emergence as the leaders of your respective CDAs. This is a call to service and I believe you will serve selflessly and diligently. To the CDC, what more can I say than urge you to up your activities towards enhancing community advocacy and development. Be assured that we will continually work hand-in-hand with you, like before, to achieve your plans and also to help us in the discharge of the expected delivery of democracy dividends at the grassroots,” Olasoju concluded.
