The tour began with a visit to the iconic Ikorodu Division Hall of Fame, where the Curator, Mrs. Funmilayo Aroyewun-Akanji, graciously walked them through the legacy of distinguished sons and daughters of Ikorodu, past and present, whose exploits have shaped history. 

The Hall of Fame features illustrious sons and daughters of Ikorodu who have made significant contributions in various fields.

The visit concluded with an engaging interactive session at the Constituency Office, where Benson was both impressed and inspired by their depth, curiosity, and patriotic drive. Noting that the fellows represent the next generation of transformative leaders.

I thank the Academy and the Lagos State Government for this initiative. With young minds like these, the future of our nation holds promise,' Benson stated.

Mrs. Ayisat Agbaje-Okunade, the ES Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy praised Benson for his humility, accessibility, and dedication to Ikorodu's development. She noted that Benson is highly respected in Ikorodu and commended his influence in the House of Representatives.
