A wave of transformation is sweeping through the heart of Oshodi as the West Leadership Network launches the Renewed Hope Initiative, a visionary, people-driven movement designed to restore pride, unity, and prosperity to one of Lagos’s most vibrant communities.

“We are calling upon our successful sons and daughters,those who have found success beyond Oshodi,to return, reconnect, and give back. The time to rebuild is now,” he said.
