Comrade Tosin Ogundipe, the Special Adviser on ICT and Infrastructure to the Executive Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Mayor Dele Osinowo, was showered with tributes from colleagues, community leaders, and youth groups as he marked his birthday.
Ogundipe’s journey in public service is deeply rooted in Osogun-Alapere, Agboyi-Ketu LCDA, where he completed his primary and secondary education before furthering his studies at Lagos State University (LASU) and the University of Lagos (UNILAG). His extensive experience in politics has earned him recognition from key figures, including GAC Member and Lagos East Senatorial Leader, Otunba Busura Alebiosu.
A dedicated grassroots politician, Ogundipe previously aspired for a councillorship position and played a strategic role in shaping Agboyi-Ketu’s political landscape. He is credited with coining the phrase “Push Behind Dbush” in support of Dayo Bush Alebiosu’s legislative bid, reflecting his longstanding political loyalty. His contributions during the 2020 Bye Election led to his appointment as a legislative aide to Hon. Femi Saheed before assuming his current advisory role.
Beyond politics, Ogundipe is a strong advocate for youth participation in governance, aligning with Mayor Dele Osinowo’s vision of empowering young leaders. As president of Youth Arise, he continues to champion youth engagement, political awareness, and social justice initiatives.
His birthday celebration was marked by heartfelt messages from well-wishers, who commended his dedication to community development and his commitment to advancing the interests of Agboyi-Ketu.
