Ayodeji Joseph in June 2009 with a mandate to see areas of co-operation between the council and NIPCO PLC with a view to lending our support to him on how to further better the lots of the populace.
Acknowledging that kerosene was being sold to Apapa residents at aver high price, he disclosed that the initiative to sell kerosene directly came from NIPCO.
