The Executive Chairman of Ado Local Government Council, Engr. Sunny Oche, has reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering commitment to strengthening traditional institutions as critical partners in grassroots governance with the repair and restoration of the official vehicle of the Ada Ado and Chairman of the Ado Local Government Traditional Council, His Royal Highness, Chief Joseph Och’Ikor Onazi.
The official vehicle, which had been inoperable for some time, had constrained the paramount ruler’s ability to effectively carry out official engagements, respond promptly to community matters, and undertake responsibilities requiring movement across the Local Government. Recognising the indispensable role of traditional institutions in sustaining peace, promoting social cohesion, and supporting effective governance, the Chairman directed that the vehicle be repaired and returned to service, enabling the royal father to continue his constitutional and traditional responsibilities without hindrance.
The Ada Ado, as Chairman of the Ado Local Government Traditional Council, provides leadership to the ten Ward Heads and other recognised traditional rulers across the Local Government. As the closest institution of authority to the rural populace, the traditional institution maintains direct interaction with Ward Heads, Clan Heads, Kindred Heads and community leaders, thereby serving as an effective channel for conflict resolution, intelligence sharing, community mobilisation and the maintenance of law and order. This grassroots structure has remained indispensable in fostering peaceful coexistence, preserving cultural values and supporting government policies at the community level.
Engr. Sunny Oche has continued to nurture a robust and mutually beneficial partnership with the traditional institution, anchored on respect, consultation and shared responsibility for the development of Ado Local Government. This harmonious working relationship has significantly enhanced security coordination, strengthened community participation in governance, and ensured that government initiatives are effectively communicated and implemented at the grassroots level. The administration firmly acknowledges that sustainable development can only be achieved where government and traditional institutions work in close collaboration for the collective good of the people.
The restoration of Ada Ado’s official vehicle is another practical demonstration of the Chairman’s responsive and inclusive leadership philosophy, which prioritises the strengthening of institutions that directly impact the welfare of the people. It further reflects his unwavering resolve to provide the necessary support for traditional rulers to discharge their responsibilities effectively while consolidating peace, security and good governance across Ado Local Government. The administration remains steadfast in its commitment to building enduring partnerships that promote unity, accelerate development and improve the quality of life of every resident of Ado Local Government.
