Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said that 2022 and 2023 would be a harvest period for Lagos to reap more dividends of democracy, particularly in the area of infrastructural projects.
He stressed that the State Government had fast-tracked the completion and delivery of key infrastructure, which includes Imota Rice Mill, 27-kilometre Blue Line and 32-kilometre Red Line rail projects.
The governor, who spoke at the opening session of the 17th Executive and Legislative Parley organised for all elected public office holders in Lagos State, said his government was more committed to the present and future than the past.
Sanwo-Olu, in a statement on Friday by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, titled, ‘Infrastructure Delivery: ‘Lagos in its Harvest Period’ – Sanwo-Olu’, shared the strides recorded by his administration in the previous year and review upcoming programmes for more impactful results.
Sanwo-Olu said the parley was organised with the ultimate goal of seeking inputs of critical public sector stakeholders and creating strategic ways to implement ideas that would alleviate the suffering of the masses, while also improving life quality, as well as economic development.
The governor said the executive arm, which he leads, had consistently thrown its doors open to diverse opinions and views, noting that the forum had become a part of the government’s effort towards distributing development across all parts of the State.
He said: “This administration, from the outset, did not delude itself into thinking it had the monopoly of knowledge with regards to finding the right solutions to the myriad challenges confronting the state.
