Lagos State House of Assembly on Tuesday, September 17, 2019, at plenary hailed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his achievements in the area of infrastructural development during his 100 days in office.
Majority Leader, Sanai Agunbiade representing Ikorodu Constituency 01, raised the matter during plenary.
He said Governor Sanwo-Olu had done well in tackling infrastructural and environmental challenges within 100 days and had solved the problem, though not completely, but better than what he met.
“He has carried out palliative measures on the roads, he has also visited some projects, which would have been abandoned, not minding that these projects were not initiated by him, such as the Imota rice mill.
“He did not rush to the Assembly for budget re-ordering or supplementary budget, which shows he knows what he is doing.
“The House needs to commend and encourage him for what he has done,” Agunbiade said.
Hon. Rotimi Olowo praised the governor for setting up an inter-ministerial committee to ensure projects completion and avert abandonment.
He commended the governor for his initiative in overhauling the state security trust fund, saying much needed to be done on streetlights.
Speaker Mudashiru Obasa said it is not out of place for the parliament to recognise and praise somebody who started well.
“We don’t base our judgment on the artificial or physical structure being put in place, but the expenditure invested in projects. Governance is about listening to people and that is good governance.
“This is an avenue to encourage the governor on his 100 days in office. We are watching and appreciating all he has done. We assure him of our support. We, however, urge him to do more as Lagosians are waiting on him,” he added.
Obasa directed the Clerk, Mr. Azeez Sanni, to communicate to the governor on the commendation from the legislature.
