SPECIAL INAUGURAL EDITION<br />
......................<br />
My Name is Moses Patrick and there are quite a few things I expect from the new governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu:<br />
1: Reduction of Traffic on our Roads<br />
2: Cleanliness of the state; Virtually everywhere is dirty, so we have to engage people that will do a thorough<br />
cleanup of the state.<br />
3: Unemployment: I would expect him to Create New Jobs for Lagosians, so that more people will be recruited<br />
into the working class level.<br />
This also means that more roads need to be built in order to reduce the traffic that might be created as a result.<br />
As for people in my field of work, which is engineering, I believe the governor can ensure that every household<br />
and business in the state,have a prepaid electricity meter. People all over the country are clamouring for that and I<br />
believe it's something he can look into.<br />
My name is Akintade Olayinka Victor, I work in<br />
Dolphin Estate for Gosslink Engineering<br />
Limited.<br />
I believe God himself anointed Mr. Babajide<br />
Sanwo-Olu to be our governor and not any<br />
man. If it were to be by the will of man, he will<br />
not be successful during the past elections.<br />
I will like to encourage him to continue the<br />
projects left behind by his predecessor. Most<br />
governors would not continue from where the<br />
previous governor stopped, but I would<br />
encourage him to promote continuity.<br />
I would also like him to look into improving the<br />
standard of education in the state. Another<br />
area I would like for him to look into are street<br />
roads.<br />
We all are praying for better Lagos, we want<br />
Lagos to be like the U.K, US, Dublin, and<br />
Canada and this means that there's a lot of<br />
work for him to do in order for Lagos to reach<br />
the heights that those cities have attained. I<br />
expect him to visit other countries and come<br />
with results that will improve the state.<br />
As an engineer, I think the current issue of<br />
PHCN delays with distributing prepaid metres,<br />
is one pressing issue that needs to be looked<br />
into and resolved as soon as possible. I will like<br />
him to see into this as I believe it's very<br />
important.<br />

My name is Temitayo Israel, I work at Gosslink<br />
Engineering Limited<br />
First and foremost I would like to welcome the<br />
new governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu<br />
into office.<br />
I expect him to focus on the educational sector of<br />
the state. I understand that there are other sectors<br />
in the state that demand attention but I feel like<br />
the educational sector is poorly monitored and it<br />
is the same sector we might all turn to in a few<br />
years time as it is the bedrock for the future of the<br />
state.<br />
Let the school be a training ground when it comes<br />
to developing skills. What we need in Lagos state<br />
is people who are great with creativity who can<br />
actually mentor students who can bring in<br />
something new to the state.<br />
I work in the power sector and in Lagos, I must<br />
admit that power supply is nothing to write home<br />
about.<br />
The power sector is very cogent; when you<br />
channel more resources on building human efforts<br />
it will go a long way towards yielding increase<br />
concerning the capital aspect. So I expect the<br />
incoming governor to look into the building of<br />
manpower.<br />
There are many other areas of energy; we have<br />
the solar, wind, hydro, and renewable energy<br />
through biomass and other sources of renewable<br />
energy, yet we are not actually making use of any<br />
of them. We are not taking advantage of their<br />
resources.<br />
I generally will expect the incoming government to<br />
focus more and increase the capacity of power<br />
supply not only on the electrical and the manual<br />
part that we use as before but with the many<br />
available options that can be explored.
