If Sanwo-Olu wins re-election, he will have the opportunity to continue the work he has started in the areas of infrastructure development, housing, healthcare, education etc.
On the other hand, if a new candidate wins, they may take a different approach to these issues and
prioritize different areas
Such as Floating a 1 trillion loan scheme for entrepreneurs, vocational practitioners & other self employed people with potential for their business to support middle class according to @GRVlagos ,the governorship #talkinlagos#peoplesdebate
Adediran also released his policy agenda tagged ‘My Vision For Lagos’, Wednesday. He said he would change the face of governance in Lagos and make it a wealthy state in truth as against its current status of being a wealthy state only on paper. #talkinlagos#peoplesdebate
Or Funso Doherty, the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) who also stated his Vision for Lagos: He envisioned a Lagos where life is valued, families are safe & secure, businesses can thrive, and citizens can live fulfilled lives with dignity & respect
Politicians have been pulling last-minute stunts in an effort to secure votes. Does this mean that it's business as usual in politics?
The recent events leading up to tomorrow's election seem typical and not out of the ordinary.#LagosDecides2023#talkinlagos
During an interview with OAP Freeze, Jandor disclosed how a PDP chieftain attempted to impose @GRVlagos on him as a deputy. #LagosDecides2023#talkinlagos
Recently, Sanwoolu was spotted licking ice cream and visiting a mechanic and phone repair shop." #LagosDecides2023#talkinlagos
It is the right of citizens to question individuals who are running for political positions, as they are the employers of politicians, not the other way around.
Who gave the orders on October 20, 2020? Sanwoolu has been questioned about this several times, and only recently did he answer in an interview with the Arise Morning crew. #talkinlagos#LagosDecides2023
His response was understandable as he is not the Commander-in-Chief. However, though people asked why did it take this long before the Governor addressed the issue. #talkinlagos#LagosDecides2023
The trust fund continues to yield positive results in improving the security of lives and properties by providing necessary equipment both hardware and software for modern-day security infrastructure like CCTV in major areas and business districts,
fortified situation rooms, and motivated personnel.
Realizing most crimes are localized in the communities, the Lagos state government have also over the period under review established the Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC)
a community-based uniformed civil security system strategic for complimenting police in maintaining law and order, crime prevention, as well as information gathering.
Lagos offers an abundance of opportunities that are unparalleled, even though many of them have existed for a considerable period. However, there have been significant enhancements to these opportunities, and there are ongoing efforts to perfect them. #consistentlagos
