He said:
"During my tenure as the Chairman of Mushin Local Government Area, I, among others, constructed several roads and drainages with available resources. I also impacted the education sector with the rehabilitation of primary schools, and the provision of desks, benches and books for the pupils.
"Primary Health Centers in the local government were re-equipped and rehabilitated. My administration also established new health centres at Alves Street, Ogungbaiye Street and Ijesha Road, as well as embarking on social intervention by supporting the aged, widows and other vulnerable people. A major and impactful highlight of my administration was the provision of 165 boreholes across the local government. Some of these projects are still in use 15 years after.
"Having distinguished myself at the local government level, I was promoted to the state level after completing my tenure as Chairman of Mushin Local Government Area. I worked with two governors for eight years.
"I was special adviser for commerce and industry in the cabinet of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola between 2011 and 2015 and also served as commissioner for special duties and Inter-governmental Relations during Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration from 2015 to 2019.
How I made difference as a commissioner in Lagos
Oladejo noted that he made remarkable achievements as a commissioner under the cabinet of the former governor of the state.
He added:
"My ministry also supervised the operations of the Lekki Free Trade Zone, which led to among others, the establishment of the Dangote Refinery which is nearing completion and the Dangote Fertilizer Company.
"The ministry also facilitated the establishment of the Industrial Park where the Imota Rice Mill is located, the Lekki Airport and the Badagry Dry Sea Port. The Lagos Consumer Protection Agency was also under my direct supervision before it became a full-fledged agency.
"As the commissioner for special duties and Inter-governmental Relations, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency was rebranded during my tenure with the state of the art equipment, and professional personnel and decentralised for efficient service delivery.
