He noted that for positive results, participants at the review meeting had been carefully and deliberately selected among tested professionals in both public and private sectors with an astute town planner, Lookman Oshodi, moderating the process. 

He enjoined participants to be painstaking in assessing all suggestions in the memorandums against the purpose and focus of the proposed policy, adding that the review meeting would soon be followed by a larger city forum to enable more inputs.
