• Securing of 500KVA brand new transformer from Lagos State Ministry of Rural Development.

• Construction of transformer plinth and security wire netting (transformer)

• Major electrification project (1st and 2nd legs)

• Welfare packages to bereaved members.    

       

For effective administration, due to rapid growth of membership and the large expanse of land within the community, it became expedient to decentralize the activities of the central CDA and thus, effort were made to group the CDA into six (6) zones.

 

This was later reviewed to seven (7) Zones (A-G) and the graphical production was done by Arc. Adenola L. A.

 

Notable achievement of the CDA between 2011 and 2013 includes;

• Recognition by the Lagos State Government through issuance of certificate of registration.

• Purchase of CDA Secretariat land at the cost of N750,000

• Electrification Project (3rd leg).

• Radical approach towards changing substandard electrification materials to standard materials (wooden poles to concrete poles and electrical wires to aluminum conductors.)

• Welfare Packages.

• Grading of Roads

 

The current crop of leadership steering the development progress of the community emerged at an election held on 3rd November, 2013. At the inaugural meeting of the Executive members held on 9th November 2013, the programmes and activities to be executed by the CDA to December 2014 were carefully highlighted with dates, therefore, the astonishing achievement of the CDA within the last one year were not accidental but as a result of careful planning and diligent execution by the team of dedicated Executive members led by Pastor Taiwo A. Kayode.

 

These achievements include;

• Production of architectural plan of proposed CDA Secretariat.

A handshake of well done was extended to the chairman of the CDA (Pastor Taiwo A. Kayode) by the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) with a cheque of N300,000.00 only. By extension, Papa Agura CDA is the overall best CDA in Ikorodu Local Government.
