29-year-old Gbenga Abiola, youngest Local Government chairman in Lagos state, recently bagged the 20th City People award as the local government boss of the year.

Fresh faced Gbenga Abiola is sole administrator for Agege Local Government Area, Lagos state.

Gbenga Abiola was handed the role alongside other local government administrators on June 13, 2016, by Lagos Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

Those who work with Gbenga Abiola in Agege Local Government Area say he still keeps a level head and is stealthily delivering on his promises.

As the youngest LGA boss in Lagos, Gbenga Abiola has surrounded himself with other younger Nigerians who have a point to prove to the older generation of politicians.

Gbenga Abiola interacts with Agege LGA dwellers and receives feedback from his constituents on how to improve their neighborhoods, through his social media handles.

Abiola attended the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Nursery and Primary School. His secondary education came from the government college, Ketu and the Folbim High School.

Gbenga Abiola obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Lagos and learnt the political ropes while serving as Special Assistant on New Media and publicity to Lagos House Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa.

In a society where gerontocracy still reigns supreme, Gbenga Abiola is no doubt doing more to demand youth inclusion in government than thousands of hashtags on social media will achieve.
