Float a 1 trillion loan scheme for entrepreneurs, vocational practitioners & other self employed people with potential for their business to support middle class
How will @GRVlagos provide loans of 1trn in a yr to people? the budget of LASG, is 1.78 trillion #talkinlagos #Lagos

Does he intend to over tax Lagosians just to create large NPLs #talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking

To put into context the anchor borrowers Programme (for the whole Nigeria) is about NGN200bn and the CBN is coming under scrutiny
The largest financial institutions in Nigeria do not even grow their loan book by NGN 400bn a year #talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking

Based on improved terms that will include a home-ownership plan we will recruit the best graduates with the best results as teachers in our primary and secondary schools, we will recruit in tens of thousand. #talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking

Does he know the current number of teachers, their remuneration and pension obligations. I believe a lot of this Aluta promises shows he doesn’t have a good grasp of the challenges on ground and is merely riding on the OBI/LP wave #talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking

Before 100 days in office,I will issue an order to purchase 100,000 vehicles from any vehicle manufacturer who will come & set up local assembly in Lagos 2gether with component suppliers such that the value added inputs in Lagos must not be less than 70

Provision of new buses is a noble intention. However, this is an initiative already spearheaded by the APC government, with private partnership with Primero. GRV should tell us how he intends to acquire 100,000 buses. #talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking

The cost of an average bus is $70,000. but even if we pretend the amount is $30,000. That is a whooping $3,000,000,000, more than double LASG’s annual budget and 20% of Nigeria’s net reserves
#talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking

No investor with Nigerias rating downgrade will provide that money to Nigeria lest to talk of a sub-sovereign
This indicates GRV does not even have a simple grasp of the financing mechanisms and reality of things on ground #talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking

Furthermore, who are the people who can afford such buses. Your labourers, cleaners, young graduates ?? - we need to be realistic #talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking

The school feeding program will provide opportunity for local food vendors, and procurements will be from local poultries, fish farms etc #talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking

On well deserved meals. @GRVlagos should please give us an estimate on how much he thinks will be expended on meals for children and how he intends to fund such. Mind you the budget for the state is still NGN 1.78trn #talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking

The home ownership program for creating 1 million homeowners over a period of 20 years and our other affordable housing initiatives will be used to create significant employment for real estate development and construction.#talkinlagos #lagosisworking

How will @GRVlagos magically create 1,000,000 homes. Will he magically crash the price of cement o reduce the cost of construction in Nigeria as a whole
Please point out to a model low cost housing or estate he has built. We need pictures and video evidences #talkinlagos

What global standards of healthcare is on the table. The UK spends over £150bn on healthcare alone. How does GRV intend to provide world class healthcare - where will he obtain money and to what ends. #talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking

Are we going to raise unneeded debt to finance healthcare.
Mind you the IGR of Lagos in a year is NGN 600bn or $1.2bn #talkinlagos #lagosblueprint #lagosisworking
