Sanwo-Olu promises to double achievements in second term

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu says he is determined to do twice as much as he did in his first term.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu says he is determined to do twice as much as he did in his first term.

The Lagos governor said this Thursday in Ikeja during the Lagos West senatorial district town hall meeting.

According to him, his administration will raise the pace of its development strides as it doubles the efforts to deliver twice the number of projects and programmes achieved in the first term.

”I often like to describe this second term as our season of doubling. We want to move twice as fast as we did in the first term, and accomplish twice as much.

”Of course, our T.H.E.M.E.S+ development agenda will continue to guide and propel all that we do for the progress and development of Lagos State,” he said.

Mr Sanwo-Olu said the government was also constructing over 30 ongoing road projects at various stages of completion within the district.

”In Lagos West senatorial district, infrastructure development has been our priority since we came in. Over the last four years, we have completed over 70km of new roads and over two kilometres of bridges.

”These include Pen-Cinema Bridge, Ikeja Flyover, and over 42 roads we have completed in Alimosho, Ifako, Agege, Ikeja, Mushin, Amuwo Odofin and Badagry,” he said.

Mr Sanwo-Olu said the Lagos West senatorial district was also a major beneficiary of the intracity railway development projects, as it hosted major passenger hubs for Blue Line and Red Line trains.

He said the new general hospital being constructed by his administration in Ojo axis was at an advanced stage of development. When completed, the governor said the hospital would further improve healthcare access in the district.

Mr Sanwo-Olu said his administration would release an additional 300 patrol vehicles and work gadgets to increase surveillance and the capacity of security agencies to respond to emerging threats.

He urged the residents to be law-abiding and support measures introduced by the government to maintain law and order, as the government would ensure laws were fair and just to all.
