David Odumbaku’s governance style is not one based on distance but circle-specific. At the Ojodu LCDA Secretariat, he regularly convenes community stakeholder meetings where property owners, youth leaders, and artisans sit together to debate and adjust the council’s annual budget. The format is a democratic one, with a strategic intent. By the time a policy reaches implementation, Odumbaku already knows who will support it, who will resist it, and who needs to be convinced. This approach has defined his two terms as Executive Chairman of Ojodu LCDA.
