Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos State Governor-elect has revealed his plans for Lagos…

“We will develop specific and concrete plans to establish the types of businesses and investment in Lagos that will provide sustainable growth and job opportunities for the 21st century.”

“We must provide jobs and economic opportunity for this vast and industrious population. By doing so, we shall function as a catalyst for growth in Nigeria, in West Africa and the entire continent.”

“Lagos will stand as the economic capital of the black race. Lagos, the Governor-elect said, is limited by space, but noted that the state had never lacked capacity to harness its potential in turning its challenges to opportunities. Lagos is home to over 20 million people.”

“Each day, thousands migrate into our state in search of opportunity and a better life. The geographic space we occupy is limited. Land is scarce. On this small space of land we call our state, we must provide livelihoods for all who are here today and all who shall come tomorrow.”

“It requires a special people to meet this challenge. Our creativity and drive are ample and tireless. My aim is no less than to construct a way of life and governance for residents of Lagos that will provide adequate employment and economic chance now and into the foreseeable future.”

“We will do this so that we may put our best asset – human resources and ingenuity – to its most effective us for the good of all. My government will have a task to ensure the development in the state does not slow down, but will also deploy resources towards achieving a greater Lagos.”
