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.
“This explains why we have consistently thrown our doors
open to diverse opinions and views from various sources, while also creating a
forum to rub minds with all critical stakeholders with a view to achieving the
Greater Lagos of our dream.
“The remarkable strides attained in the last two and a half
years would have been impossible, but for the efforts of everyone gathered at
this forum today. The past year was particularly remarkable for us in our
aspiration to improve infrastructure across the state, many of which have been
commissioned, thus giving Lagosians a new lease of life.
“As a forward-looking government, we are more focused on the
present and the future than the past, because, no matter the level of successes
it had brought to us, the past is no longer as important as the present and the
future.”
Sanwo-Olu said his government had raised its head high and
had not let down the electorate. He said his administration had visible
achievements with great impact to showcase as the first four-year tenure of his
government draws to the end.
