Special greetings to the CDA for their efforts towards developing Popo Aguda Community, your efforts are noticed and the reward is near and for our betterment. The purpose of coming up with this programme alongside the CDA Leaders within the community and all lovers of a progressive Popo Aguda Community is to re-instate the lost of our community within our local government area. Popo Aguda is known for its vibrant people who are outgoing, industrious and Leaders in all front. Our founding fathers early settlers were traders and artisans who are technically gifted people who were Leader front liners in our their chosen career. Popo Aguda is one of the best neighbourhood with fun loving people in Lagos Island. despite all the challenges faced by these people of the past they were still able to make a meaningful contribution to Lagos Island, Lagos and Nigeria as a whole... Where are today's youth? Where did we go wrong? What did our leaders do that we are not doing? These are question begging for answer My advice for the youth is that we should * Emulate the good leaders of this community. * We should at all time consider ourselves as ambassador and good representative of our family, and community as a whole.
