Chief press secretary to Lagos State Governor (Babajide Sanwo-Olu), Mr Gboyega Akosile has said the re-election of his principal and his deputy Obafemi Hamzat was an affirmation of the people’s trust in the giant strides recorded in their first tenure.
Akosile who spoke on a political interview programme on Silverbird Television assured the residents of the state that a lot more goodies would come from the governor and his deputy during their second term in office.
He said Governor Sanwo-Olu, who is very happy about the people of Lagos State giving him and his deputy a mandate for the second time in office, would meet the yearnings and aspirations of millions of Lagosians through the administration’s THEMES PLUS agenda.
According to him, the governor has made a lot of huge investments in transportation, education, health, entertainment, security, environment, civil service, technology, and other critical sectors in his first term, adding that he will do more during the second term in the delivery of the dividends of democracy and good governance to the people.
He said, “The governor started on a journey with six pillars’ THEMES agenda, which are traffic management and transportation, health and environment, education and technology, making Lagos a 21st Century economy, entertainment and tourism, and security and governance.
‘’The governor has made very huge investments in all of these areas. And part of our achievements in the first term, which we have not even ended, is the commissioning of the Oba Sekumade Road in Ikorodu (commissioned on Friday) among several other road networks across the state, completed and handed over to the public in the first term.’’
“Going into the second term, the governor will continue with his agenda but he is going to turn it into THEMES PLUS because this time around we are going to have things around inclusion; inclusion in governance. We are going to have things around gender balancing, whereby we give more opportunities to the youth and the women.’’
