For the three and half years that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat have held sway at the Lagos House, theirs have been a perfect study in delight. Mr. Governor, in his inaugural speech at Tafawa Balewa square, was vehement in identifying his government’s posture as a continuation of one of his predecessors Governor Babatunde Fashola’s enviable developmental strides, his focus and faithfulness to the blue print and master plan of Lagos.
For the three and half years that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat have held sway at the Lagos House, theirs have been a perfect study in delight. Mr. Governor, in his inaugural speech at Tafawa Balewa square, was vehement in identifying his government’s posture as a continuation of one of his predecessors Governor Babatunde Fashola’s enviable developmental strides, his focus and faithfulness to the blueprint and master plan of Lagos.
Mr. Governor’s performance index can best be assessed by his THEMES Agenda, which is as audacious as it is ambitious. The six cardinal programme agenda are Traffic management and transportation, the ‘H’ for Health and environment, ‘E’ for education and technology, ‘M’ for making Lagos a 21st century economy, the second ‘E’ for Entertainment and Tourism and ‘S’ for Security and Governance.
The health sector and environment has also witnessed massive boost, with innumerable primary, secondary and tertiary health care facilities. Some include the Massey Children hospital, a new General Hospital at Ojo and a 500-bed mental health hospital at Ketu Ejirin. The entertainment/tourism, security and governance sectors have also witnessed major boost. J.K Randle cultural centre Onikan and many social intervention initiatives are credited to the ministry of culture and tourism.Lagos being a cosmopolitan city is bedeviled by very serious security challenges. The massive migration challenge of immigrants of Niger, Chad, Mali, Senegal trooping to Lagos and neighbouring cities almost unchecked on daily basis is a cause for concern.
Agricultural Revolution: Nigeria is in a terrible state of decadence paralysis threshold. All Applied economic panacea have only worsened the situation. State actors and institutions saddled with statutory responsibility of managing the economy are singing, discordant tunes no synergy of any sort, the falcon can no longer bear the falconer, things have really fallen apart and the centre is gasping for breathe.
