The April 24 one-day visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Lagos State was considered a remarkable recap of what Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration has always stood for. Bayo Akinloye captures the highlights of the occasion in which the president inaugurated some landmark projects in the state
As he declared open the grand facilities, an elated Buhari subtly described the governor’s performance as “satisfactory” and “commendable”. During the inauguration of the facility, Ambode described the opening of the hospital as historic, expressing optimism that the facility will provide world-class health care services to Lagosians and other Nigerians.
He added: “Beyond its significance for the health sector, this institute is a major contribution to our education sector also as it becomes a veritable platform for our medical students in the state’s university to enhance their exposure and experience with the top-class medical equipment provided.” The theatre with 500 sitting capacity is one of four such edifices simultaneously constructed by the Ambode administration in Epe, Badagry, and Igando. A fifth one, to be located in Ikorodu, is in the works.
Ambode and his team are the brains behind the OTI, designed to reduce travel time on Lagos roads, unlock gridlocks associated with the megacity and “help people commute without stress”. The interchange, like the previous ones before it such as the Ikeja Bus Terminal, Berger Bus Terminal, Yaba Bus Terminal, Oyingbo Bus Terminal and Race Course Bus Terminal will make Lagos function like other megacities in the developed world.
For Ambode, the presidential commendation was a pat on the back for effective governance – not politicking – in Lagos State in the last four years.“In our promise to deliver people-oriented projects and programmes, a closer look at all the projects indicate that nearly all the different pillars of our development plan as a state have been affected positively through these projects.
The first tranche of the Paris Club refund to states approved by the president was used “to pay the 40 percent down-payment” for the 820 buses.
This is what we call brown envelope journalism 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂
The writer of the story can do better. He built 90 additional bed, 10 lanes road that's not up to 30km, and the oshodi facilities that's yet to be completed and yet he is Mr infrastructure in a city with over 20m population? Why do we promote mediocrity this way. It's a shame!
