Leadership History · Oriade LCDA

Council Chairmen,
Past & Present

Oriade LCDA was created in 2004, carved out of Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area as part of Lagos State's drive to bring governance closer to the grassroots. Since its establishment, the council has been led by a succession of executive chairmen — each shaping its growth, infrastructure, and identity across the Badagry Division.

2004 – 2008 1st Term
Hon. Prince Tunde Ibrahim Sanusi
Executive Chairman, Oriade LCDA

The pioneer elected Executive Chairman of Oriade LCDA, sworn in following the inaugural LASIEC elections of 2004 after the council was formally established. His first term laid the foundational governance structures for the newly created council, focused on early road development and establishing the council secretariat along Muninu Adio-Badmus Road, Satellite Town.

Hon. Prince Tunde Ibrahim Sanusi
Executive Chairman, Oriade LCDA — Second Term

Re-elected in the October 2008 LASIEC elections, Sanusi's second tenure brought expanded development activity. His administration was noted for road rehabilitation across Kirikiri, Agboju, and Satellite Town, health outreach programmes to riverine communities, and early efforts to construct the Irede–Ikaare Link Bridge connecting the riverine wards. He also initiated the proposed Primary Healthcare Centre in Irede Onigbanko, a project that would remain a landmark issue for subsequent administrations.

Elected in the 2011 LASIEC council polls and inaugurated in 2012, Oloyede served a full term as Executive Chairman. His administration continued infrastructure and community development efforts across Oriade's 7 wards, maintaining continuity with the APC (then ACN) governance agenda for Lagos State.

Years
2015 – 2017 Sole Administrator
Mr. Habeeb Aileru
Sole Administrator, Oriade LCDA

Appointed as Sole Administrator under Governor Akinwunmi Ambode's administration during the transition period between elected councils. Aileru's tenure was cut short when the Lagos State House of Assembly ordered his immediate removal in July 2017 following findings of gross financial misappropriation — including incurring a debt of ₦408 million — and repeated violations of the Governor's directives against awarding contracts or incurring debts.

Years
2017 – 2025 Two Terms
Hon. Ramotalai Olanrewaju Akinlola-Hassan
Executive Chairman, Oriade LCDA

The first female Executive Chairman of Oriade LCDA, elected in July 2017 and re-elected in July 2021, serving two consecutive terms spanning eight years. A former Lagos State House of Assembly member, her administration championed road reconstruction, security improvements, free health missions, school renovations, and women empowerment programmes. Oriade LCDA won the 2021 Cleanest Community Award in Lagos State under her leadership. She presided over the commissioning of four major road projects by Governor Sanwo-Olu in January 2025, including the reconstructed Old Ojo Road and Irede Road.

Hon. Rasaq Akorede Olojede
Executive Chairman, Oriade LCDA

Sworn in on 27 July 2025 at the Sports Ground of the Governor's Office, Ikeja, following the Lagos State local government elections. His administration comes into office with high expectations from all 7 wards — from the Atlantic-facing riverine communities of Ilashe and Ibeshe to the urban settlements of Agboju and Satellite Town. His priorities include completing the 78-metre Imoore–Ilashe bridge, activating long-promised primary healthcare centres in riverine wards, youth empowerment, and continuing the infrastructure momentum of his predecessor.
