“While he has made some progress in easing transportation challenges in many parts of Lagos, it is however sad, that after spending 100DaysInOffice, SanwoOlu has not been able to resolve the issue of trucks littering some roads in Apapa.” Nigeria
Much is expected from leaders everywhere and it has become a kind of tradition to access the 100 days of many new leaders.
Sanwo-Olu had also met a dirty state, no thanks to the misadventure with Visionscape, a company his predecessor, former governor Akinwunmi Ambode, had brought in to tackle the challenge of Lagos waste. The company bungled it and compounded the matter, ensuring Lagos became dirtier. It is also great to note that he has continued to work on projects abandoned or neglected by Ambode. Though residents who have to pass through the Lagos-Badagry expressway still experience hell, the road has got the attention of the governor and work has resumed there. The governor promised that the Lagos-Badagry expressway would be ready by December.
Notwithstanding, in tandem with the federal government, a solution in the form of completion of a trailer park is in progress. And addressing education, Sanwo-Olu recently announced the government was going to recruit about 15, 000 teachers for public primary and secondary schools in the state. And to encourage the use of the internet, the governor said that currently, 50 locations in Lagos enjoy free-wifi. Sanwo-Olu also said the government has partnered with a private telecommunication firm to deploy metropolitan fibre optics across the state to boost internet infrastructure.
