The Metropolitan Council Legislative Awards, hosted by Gwangnam Ilbo, aim to recognize metropolitan council members of Gwangju and Jeonnam who have enhanced regional competitiveness and the quality of life of local residents through creative and innovative efforts and excellent policies. The award is given to council members who have achieved outstanding results with exemplary policies in the fields of policy and legislative activities.

Through sincere and substantial legislative activities, he contributed to local autonomy and regional development, fulfilled his duties with a strong sense of mission, discovered necessary policies for Jeollanam-do, improved residents’ quality of life, and devoted himself to various social service activities and fostering neighborly love and community building.

Additionally, to find Mokpo’s future in education, he held two discussion forums, mediated conflicts among residents related to the development of the Mokpo Imseong district, communicated with parents, and installed student safety facilities by sharing information with residents through Facebook.

In particular, as the chairman of the Jeollanam-do Provincial Council Budget and Accounts Special Committee, he is making efforts to secure budgets for local residents through meetings with Jeonnam provincial government officials, and is communicating in various ways, including meetings with the governor and visits to the National Assembly, to ensure that local pending projects and long-standing tasks are reflected.

Council member Lee Hyuk-je said, “I am pleased to receive this meaningful award for doing what I should as a council member for the residents of Jeonnam,” and added, “I take this as a sign to work even harder as a council member and will devote myself to the residents, especially to ensure that students in our Jeonnam can freely pursue their dreams by accelerating my legislative activities.”
