consultation with the leadership of the party, and some well-meaning Lagosians, I was asked to step down, which I did.Then the Party hierarchy felt it had to compensate me, because nobody could really say what the outcome of the election would be at that time. That is how I got appointed as the Protocol Officer to the then Chairman of Lagos Island local government, Late Prince Adeniji Adele. During that period, I served him meritoriously and he felt that the agility and brilliance that I exhibited was too much for the office I held. So, they established a parastatal named Lagos Island Sports Commission and I was made the first Executive Secretary of the Commission. To my credit as Executive Secretary of the Commission, we established the J.K. Randle Swimming Pool, the Bombata Sporting Centre, the Chief Molade Okoya Lawn Tennis Court and several others. You know, those times in the early 90s, there was consistent youth restiveness in town. So, I felt all that energy could be converted to sports, because we discovered a lot of talents in that restive youth population, and if those talents were not harnessed properly, they would in time turn out to be hoodlums and disturb the peace of the community. Then, at a point, the military came into power and that administration was truncated. Outside that, I sought employment in several other organizations, and got employed by UAC Foods in Port-Harcourt where I worked for a year before coming back to Lagos, to take up the position of Administrative Manager at the Eleganza Ball pen industry. I did my bit there and went back into politics once the ban was lifted. I contested the Chairmanship of Lagos Island, and the leadership of the party appealed to my sense of understanding to allow Mr. Lukman Ajose to go. Well, I stepped down for him and he became Chairman. As his administration ruled, I was called upon to serve again at the Jabita Intercontinental Hotels as General Manager for years.To cap it all, I established my own construction outfit, named HML Projects Nigeria Limited.To the glory of God, this company has to its credit, a lot of road projects in Lagos state, a lot of schools and Public health centers rehabilitation, street lights and a lot more. That is my background in brief.
