SPECIAL INAUGURAL EDITION
I am a corp member and I also do media related things.
My expectations from the new governor is continuity. I think it is very important that projects
that have started from the outgoing administration are continued and completed as I believe
that continuity is very important.
I also feel that he should tackle the seemingly never-ending issue of traffic in the state. Traffic is
the major problem in Lagos and I know for sure that some of the issues that cause traffic are
bad roads and bad drainage systems, because when it rains in Lagos, you already know that
there's going be traffic.
Sometimes there are just too many cars on the road so transportation is something he should
look into as well. I believe there is so much he can do with our waterways, he just needs to
make sure that they are safe and people can make use of them properly. So I think proper water
transportation can help reduce traffic.
We also have the railway transportation system that was started a long time ago, but we don't
know what has happened to it, I wish that can be worked on as well.
Transportation and traffic go hand in hand so I think this is something that should be worked on.
Traffic lights! yes, traffic lights before I forget, I feel our traffic lights should be wired in a proper
way that works with traffic flow. You know, not just 60 seconds, 10 seconds and all that.
Something else Babajide Sanwo-Olu should work on, is tourism in Lagos. Lagos is a business hub
and we have a lot of people coming in and going out and feel there are a number of places we
could turn into tourism hubs for the many visitors that flood the city. I know that Badagry is one
of those places that could be developed into a globally recognised tourism hub. I recently
visited Badagry and the road was horrible and that should be looked into. Like I said,
transportation, our road system, Badagry itself should be at the top of the priority list as it is a
great place for tourism which is a very good way for the state to make money.
I also think housing is another sector that needs to be worked on.
There are so many things, but I think for me, what is really important is transportation, our road
system, good roads and all that.
Also, continuity; continue projects that were started by the outgoing governor.
