During a stakeholders' meeting with Yayi in Ado-Odo/Ota, Salako-Oyedele elaborated on the area's infrastructure needs and housing demands, urging Yayi to intervene in an abandoned Federal Ministry of Water Resources project. She questioned residents about access to pipe-borne water in the local government and received confirmation that none of the households had access to such a service. The Federal Ministry of Water Resources project remained incomplete despite multiple funding attempts at the federal level, Salako-Oyedele explained. She appealed to Yayi to help rehabilitate the Iju Water Works, stating that residents want to be able to turn on the tap and have water flow. Salako-Oyedele also raised concerns about the rapid population growth in the local government, citing the registration of over 40,000 new voters this year, which suggests a significant influx of residents and families. She called for the construction of modern housing estates and noted that the state government had undertaken some development projects in the area.",
